PHILADELPHIA -- So who is the next Phillies manager going to be?
It is unclear if there is a front runner, but sources said that the Phillies are indeed finishing a second round of interviews this week with three finalists: former Red Sox manager John Farrell, Dodgers player development director Gabe Kapler and Triple-A Lehigh Valley manager Dusty Wathan. An announcement could come next week.
It is unlikely Yankees manager Joe Girardi will become a last-minute finalist. Giradi lost his job Thursday, but the Phillies seem to feel good enough about their three finalists to offer the job to one of them.
