Dombrowski Backs Thomson Despite Phillies Slump

0:00It's April 22nd, MLB News Today starts now, AI powered and always on. Philly's president Dave Dombowski made it clear that manager Rob Thompson ain't on the hot seat, even with the team's rough start to the season. The Phil's sit at eight wins and 15 losses heading into their series against the Chicago Cubs, dead last in the National League, except for the Mets, and they've dropped seven straight games, including eight of their last ten. Dombowski owns the roster construction, so he's taking the heat for the slump, saying no part of the team has clicked as a unit, even if some players, have shown up individually. Thompson stepped in back in 2022, replacing Joe Gerardi, and guided Philly straight to the World Series that year before falling to. Houston. Lately though, the postseason magic has faded with losses in the National League Championship Series last year, and quick exits in the division series. The past two are tovers, but Dombowski still got full faith as they fight to turn this around.
