PHILADELPHIA -- Preston Mattingly, a son of former star first baseman and manager Don Mattingly, was promoted to general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday under president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski.
Sam Fuld, the GM since December 2020, is studying for his Master of Business Administration degree at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and will become the team's president of business operations when he receives his degree in May 2026.
Fuld will oversee business operations departments after his graduation and until then will share GM duties with Mattingly.
Mattingly, 37, played in the minor leagues from 2006-11, then went to Lamar University, where he captained the basketball team and received a bachelor's degree in 2016.
