Phillies Fire Thomson, Hire Mattingly as Interim Manager
Description
The Philadelphia Phillies have appointed Don Mattingly as their interim manager, following the dismissal of Rob Thomson due to a poor start to the 2026 season. Despite initial interest in Alex Cora, who declined the offer to focus on family, Mattinglys extensive experience as a former Yankees star and successful coach makes him a strong choice. This appointment also marks a historical moment as Mattingly and his son Preston, the Phillies assistant general manager, become the first father-son pair holding top manager and front-office roles on the same MLB team.
