The Philadelphia Phillies announced Thursday evening that franchise icon Jimmy Rollins has been named a special advisor to president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski.
In his new role, Rollins “will periodically assist the major league club in an on-field capacity and advise the front office with baseball operations decisions,” the Phillies say.
Rollins had been a special advisor to the organization since January of 2019, though this new position seemingly represents an increase in responsibilities for the former National League MVP.
The only other person who has the same role for the Phillies is the greatest player in franchise history, Mike Schmidt.
