The Phillies front office continues to take heat from the horrible press conference, and Fans continue to wait to see just who the next manager will be John Middleton and company have to get this right. Twitter is flooded with “reports” coming out of South Philadelphia. Are the Phillies are going to make Joe Girardi the 55th manager in franchise history?
The Phillies preferred Girardi. At 55 years old, he is currently the youngest candidate and has a good mixture of baseball knowledge and analytics. He also managed the Yankees to the World Series victory in 2009, beating the Phillies.
