On Friday at 1 pm, the Phillies held what many of us thought was going to be a disaster of a press conference. It was to announce the firing of Gabe Kapler. We were not disappointed. They decided to have a joint press conference with Matt Klentak, John Middleton and Andy MacPhail. It was unwatchable!
Prior to today’s shenanigans, and that literally is the best way to describe this debacle, the Phillies fired manager Gabe Kapler on Thursday. Phillies Owner, John Middleton stated that GM Matt Klentak will lead the search for Kapler’s successor. Middleton also said he has confidence that Klentak will find the right guy.
