Good morning, and happy Friday! Here’s your Phillies news for today:
- Thursday we found out that John Middleton is the new “control person” for the Phillies, per MLB. That means he’s the figurehead owner, the person Major League Baseball has designated to be point person for the franchise.
Good news. We have a face. That face is especially passionate about bringing a winner back to Philadelphia. He also has overseen this rebuild, which so far has gone relatively to plan. Of anyone who could have control of the team, it should be Middleton.
