Phillies Fire Thomson, Cora Rejects Job

0:00On April 2, 8th, the Philadelphia Phillies just fired their manager Rob Thompson on Tuesday, even though he guided them to some strong playoff runs in. Recent years. Right now, the team's one of the worst in the league with a rough record, so ownership hit the reset button. They quickly offered the job to Alex Korra, who got let go by the Boston Red Sox just days earlier on Saturday. But Korra turned it down Monday afternoon, saying he wants to spend time with his family instead. Fans and insiders aren't shocked by the move, given the Phillies slump, but it leaves a big hole. Enter a manager Don Mattingley stepped in right away. He's a respected veteran from his Marlins days, though he never had much talent there. The front office is eyeing other names like Brandon Hyde, who flipped the Baltimore Orioles around in one manager of the year a couple seasons back. Now with the raise, or David Ross, the ex-cub skipper who knows Philly stars like Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber from past gigs. They might circle back to Korra after the season ends, since family time was his main reason for passing.
