PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Depending on the time and day, Gabe Kapler’s job security as Phillies manager in the court of public opinion fluctuates between fired today and this winter. Any time general manager Matt Klentak is approached about the subject, he sings high praise about his manager hire’s job.
On Sunday, it was no different — despite the Phillies’ playoff hopes becoming bleaker by the day.
Klentak joined MLB Network Radio on Sunday and reiterated his support for Kapler, highlighting his ability to learn from his mistakes and adapt.
“I love Kap, and I’ve said that every time I’ve been asked, which is a lot over the last couple of years,” he said.
