For Matt Klentak, an “objectively great'” offseason resulted in only a one-win improvement for the Philadelphia Phillies from 2018 to 2019.
A fourth-place finish in the National League East – along with the team’s failure to both make the postseason and finish above .500 – left some questioning Klentak’s future as the general manager. Klentak specifically addressed the anxieties he may or may not have been feeling regarding his status as Phillies general manager in an interview with Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie on SportsRadio 94 WIP this past Thursday.
