Phillies Expected To Announce Decision On Gabe Kapler Today

By Jeff Todd | October 10, 2019 at 9:13am CDT

With the Phillies’ 2019 season long in the books, observers have been waiting and watching to see what the team will do with manager Gabe Kapler. A final decision and announcement on Kapler’s fate is expected today, per Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philly (via Twitter).

While other clubs are fully engaged in pursuit of new skippers, or have announced the retention of their old ones, the Philadelphia organization has taken its time assessing Kapler’s status. Owner John Middleton is said to have engaged deeply in the matter personally, even visiting players for input.

At this point, it’s still anyone’s guess whether Kapler will be brought back. The organization was obviously disappointed to finish out of the postseason and with a middling .500 record after major offseason investments. But it seems there’s significant support for Kapler in some quarters, perhaps including the locker room.

      Really? He should be fired by now. I think he is staying as the manager. Hopefully, that is not the case. He can stay in the organization, but not as the manager. I keep saying this the Phillies need a manager with experience. What about Maddon?

    I think he will be back. I think they are going to spend on some pitching and give him one last chance. I dont like it, but I just think thats how its looking. The players all really like him.

    I can’t see why they would have waited this long if they were going to let him go. It would have put them behind all of the other teams who are already conducting interviews or doing background work.

      “I can’t see why they would have waited this long”……..because Middleton has spent the last week or so flying around the country visiting players for their input. He let the fans decide on whether to pursue Harper or Machado and is now letting the players decide on Kapler….sighs.
