The Phillies have let go seven members of their scouting department, including some notable names

Friday was a difficult day in the Philadelphia Phillies organization as seven members of their scouting department — including 1993 National League champion Dave Hollins and former manager Pete Mackanin — were told that they would not have their contracts renewed for the 2021 season.

The Phillies are also parting ways with Howie Freiling, Mike Garcia, Jeff Harris, Chris Knabenshue, and Jesse Levis, according to NBC Sports Philadelphia Jim Salisbury.
