Philadelphia Phillies’ third base coach Dusty Wathan is reportedly a managerial candidate for two different teams looking to fill vacancies.
According to Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia, both the Miami Marlins and Kansas City Royals have Wathan on their radar. He interviewed with the Marlins on an off day on Sunday, and will do so with the Royals on an off day Thursday.
Wathan has been a coach in the Phillies’ organization since 2008, and is the winningest manager in Double-A Reading’s history. He was the runner-up to Gabe Kapler in the team’s managerial search prior to the 2018 season, and has since served as the third base coach for Kapler, Joe Girardi and now Rob Thomson.
