Looking At Mattingly
Mattingly was promoted to manager in the middle of the season when the team fired Rob Thomson.
Over the offseason, the Phillies gave him a deal to be at the helm going forward.
The Phillies wrote (via X) on October 14: “The Phillies have signed Don Mattingly to a two-year contract for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.”
Mattingly had a fantastic playing career where he spent all 14 seasons with the New York Yankees.
He made six MLB All-Star Games (and won the 1985 American League MVP Award).
Right now, the 65-year is among the best players to not be in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Looking At The Phillies Right Now
The Phillies last reached the World Series during the 2022 season when they lost to the Houston Astros.
This past year, they finished the regular season as the second-place team in the National League East with an 88-74 record in 162 games.
