The Phillies appear to be making progress in the search for a new leader in the front office.
They have interviewed Dodgers senior vice president Josh Byrnes for their GM opening, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Jayson Stark of The Athletic reported on Friday that there were “strong indications” that Byrnes met with the Phillies and that the second round of interviews with potential candidates could begin as early as this week.
It’s interesting that Nightengale noted that Byrnes interviewed to be the general manager.
