Hey! Interviews!
It’s time for a daily news report.
First two managerial interviews
The word is out about the first two men to interview for the Phillies’ managerial opening: Third-Base Coach Juan Samuel and Special Assistant to the General Manager Jorge Velandia.
Samuel’s name was thrown out there as someone who could be on the Phils’ radar, and so his candidacy isn’t surprising. A coach with the Phillies since 2011, Sammy (who hit .263/.310/.439 over seven seasons with the Phils) also served as interim manager for the Orioles in 2010.
