After Phils, Gillick not sure what future holds
MacPhail to succeed Gillick 4:04 The Phillies announce that Andy MacPhail will succeed the retiring Pat Gillick as president of the club following the 2015 seasonPHILADELPHIA -- Pat Gillick plans to officially hand the reins as Phillies president to Andy MacPhail sometime before the end of October.
The exact date seems insignificant at this point. MacPhail relieved Ruben Amaro Jr. of his duties as general manager on Thursday. MacPhail will be making any significant baseball decisions from this point forward. He already informed the baseball operations staff it will return in 2016, and it seems very likely Pete Mackanin will return as the manager next year, too.
