Larry Bowa, Juan Samuel agree to deals with Phillies

LARRY BOWA appears to no longer be in the running for the Miami Marlins managing job.

The Phillies announced Tuesday that both Bowa and Juan Samuel had agreed to contracts to rejoin manager Pete Mackanin's coaching staff in 2016.

Bowa had reportedly interviewed twice with Miami this month. But Don Mattingly has been heavily rumored to be atop the Marlins' wish list after he was let go by the Los Angeles Dodgers last week.

Samuel, like Bowa, has previous managing experience. He had interviewed for the full-time Phillies managing job in September. But team president Andy MacPhail decided to promote then-interim manager Mackanin instead.
