Dodgers executive Josh Byrnes will not join the Phillies front office.
The Philadelphia Phillies search for a new president of baseball operations has hit multiple snags.
The organization reportedly received permission to interview current Minnesota Twins general manager Thad Levine; however, later in the day of the initial report, the executive announced his intent to stay with the American League Central team.
Just last Friday, NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury reported that the Phillies will conduct second interviews with Josh Byrnes, senior vice president of baseball operations for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Michael Hill, a former Miami Marlins general manager and president of baseball operations.
