Phillies rumor: Mike Scioscia interested in manager job, Maddon too?

If the Phillies decide to move on from Gabe Kapler after two seasons, they could have their choice of two Pennsylvania baseball legends.

According to Jon Heyman of Fancred, former Angels manager Mike Scioscia is interested in being the Phillies next manager. Additionally, current Cubs manager and West Hazelton native Joe Maddon would be a candidate should Kapler be fired.

Here’s what Heyman had to say on his “Big Time Baseball” podcast released on Monday.

“I’ve also heard Mike Scioscia is very interested in this job, not a shocker. He did step away from the Angels, was not going to be retained there.
