Ryne Sandberg‘s resignation as manager of the Phillies yesterday took everyone by surprise, including his players. In fact, new interim manager Pete Mackanin suggested not even Sandberg’s wife knew he was considering stepping down. Needless to say, the Phillies were still processing the news when they had to speak to the media about the situation yesterday.
No one had anything particularly new to add except for outfielder Ben Revere. And what he had to say is pretty damning about Sandberg’s tenure with the Phillies.
