Phillies Fire Thomson, Offer Him Special Assistant Role
Description
The Philadelphia Phillies have fired manager Rob Thomson after a poor start to the 2026 season, naming Don Mattingly as interim skipper. Thomson, 62, has been offered a special assistant role once he takes some time away. The move has sparked debate among fans, with some calling Thomson a scapegoat. The Phillies brass, led by Dave Dombrowski, insists its not a blame game and everyone is underperforming collectively. Mattingly will make his Phillies debut tonight against the San Francisco Giants.
