Phillies extend manager Rob Thomson through 2026 season

Despite an early postseason exit, the Phillies extended manager Rob Thomson’s contract after winning the team’s first National League East division title since 2011.

The team signed Thomson through the 2026 season, Philadelphia’s president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski announced Tuesday. The Phillies will also retain their entire major-league coaching staff for 2025.

“He’s done a good job for us,” Dombrowski said of Thomson at the Phillies’ end-of-season press conference at Citizens Bank Park. “He’s been a very successful manager. There’s very few clubs in baseball that have made the postseason three years in a row. He has done that.
