In a rather shocking turn of events, the Philadelphia Phillies announced Sunday that pitching coach Bryan Price “has opted to retire from a full-time coaching capacity.”
“Bryan provided a trusted voice and had a major impact on our pitchers this season,” Phillies interim general manager Ned Rice said Sunday. “We wish Bryan nothing but the best in his retirement and thank him for his contributions this past season.”
Price, a former major league manager, is just 58 years old and was seen as a pretty big get when Joe Girardi secured him on his staff last offseason.
