PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Philadelphia Phillies will have to find a new general manager. The Phillies on Saturday announced Matt Klentak has stepped down as the team’s general manager after five seasons.
The Phillies said Klentak will remain in the organization and reassigned another role. Assistant general manager Ned Rice will serve as the Phillies’ interim GM, the team said.
“While I am disappointed that we failed to reach our ultimate goal, I am nevertheless very proud of the progress that this organization made over the last five years and of the people who worked so hard to make it happen,” Klentak said in a statement.
