There’s growing evidence that if the Philadelphia Phillies have their way, Joe Girardi will become the 55th manager in franchise history.
Girardi, per multiple outlets, will meet with the Phillies for a follow-up interview Monday. Barring a poor interview, it stands to reason that the Phillies could move forward with attempting to secure Girardi not soon after.
Monday, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported that the 55-year-old is “believed to be the Phillies preferred candidate for manager.” David Kaplan of ESPN 1000 and NBC Sports Chicago added that Girardi is “the clear favorite” to win the Phillies managerial search.
