When introduced earlier this week as the new general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, Matt Klentak laid out five elements that he and the entire organization would need to make work in order to create a long-term winning environment.
This week down in Clearwater, Florida, the Phillies began to hold their annual organizational meetings, which will help lay out the course of the franchise in both the short and long terms. It is certain that Klentak is taking this ideal opportunity to begin emphasizing those elements.
Those five elements as reported by MLB.com’s Todd Zolecki are: discipline, connectivity, information, culture, and winning.
