PHILADELPHIA -- Dusty Wathan will change Minor League zip codes next season, as he will move about an hour down the road and a level higher in 2017, taking over as the manager at Triple-A Lehigh Valley after spending the last five years with Double-A Reading.
Wathan will take over for Dave Brundage, who general manager Matt Klentak decided not to retain after consulting director of player development Joe Jordan.
"Joe and I sat down at the end of the Minor League season and we talked about it. We felt like it was time to move forward and make a change there," Klentak said.
