File this one away.
Per MLB.com‘s Todd Zolecki, the Philadelphia Phillies would have had interest in interviewing Buck Showalter in October of 2017, during their last managerial search. They didn’t get that opportunity because Showalter was still the Baltimore Orioles manager at that time. That said, Showalter and the Orioles parted ways after the 2018 season and the 63-year-old did not manage in 2019. So now, he is available for any team to interview.
The Phillies don’t currently have a managerial opening, though it’s the worst kept secret in baseball that they are contemplating making one after going 81-81 in 2019.
