The Phillies moved Peter Mackanin off the field and into the front office:
Pete Mackanin will not return as the manager of the Philadelphia Phillies in 2018, the team announced Friday.
Mackanin instead has agreed to an extension to serve as the special assistant to general manager Matt Klentak “for 2018 and beyond,” according to a team statement.
Mackanin, 66, will finish out the 2017 season as the team’s manager. He has gone 172-237 since replacing Ryne Sandberg in 2015.
The Phillies were building toward a better team, and looked poised to take a step forward this season. Instead, the have already lost four more games than last season. It’s time to turn the task over to someone else.
