There are seven managerial openings as the baseball world awaits puffs of smoke or whatever it is exactly the Phillies will do to signal whether they will or will not be retaining Gabe Kapler.
That is nearly one-quarter of teams with availability — more if Kapler is removed. Four of the top 10 teams in 2019 payroll — the Cubs, Giants, Angels and Mets — are looking, and so would the 11th if (everyone now) Kapler is removed. The teams that signed the two biggest free agents last offseason will be looking if the Phillies (Bryce Harper) join the Padres (Manny Machado).
