While looking to launch his career, Matt Klentak once received a good piece of advice: Do not leave a conversation without getting the name of at least one other person to talk to.
Klentak abided by that while trying to get a job in baseball, using a conversation with one team to eventually land a gig with another. That was the start of a career that has taken him through the Commissioner's office, Baltimore, Anaheim and ultimately Philadelphia, where he's been vice president and general manager of the Phillies since October 2015.
MLB.com caught up with Klentak at Spectrum Field in Clearwater, Fla.
