The Phillies coaching staff is expected to see some major changes this offseason with a new manager expected to be hired in the coming weeks. We already know Pete Mackanin and Larry Bowa won’t be returning to the dugout, but the rest of the coaching staff remains a question mark.
Two coaches whose positions are in jeopardy are first and third base coaches Mickey Morandini and Juan Samuel. Both play an integral role in the team’s baserunning with Morandini also serving as the team’s baserunning instructor. Samuel was the baserunning instructor from 2012-2015 until Morandini took over the position and has been the team’s outfield instructor since joining the coaching staff.
