@mattgelb.bsky.socialCan confirm this. Fuld’s role remains unchanged on Phillies’ business side.
@charlottevarnes.bsky.socialReposted by @mattgelb.bsky.socialAnother offseason, another opportunity for the Phillies to remake their outfield. Some very early thoughts about what could shape their approach:

@phillies-therapy.comReposted by @mattgelb.bsky.socialI've always wanted to have a digestible idea of what pitchers changed from one season to the next, and what made a difference positively or negatively.
So now that report exists for every player, even if imperfect

@mattgelb.bsky.socialA Phillies front office with many questions to answer this offseason is faced with an initial one: Look deeper, or go back to Don Mattingly as manager? Story with @jaysonst.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/766...

@mattgelb.bsky.socialLet the questions about this Phillies offseason begin. The most pressing one has nothing to do with who the manager is: www.nytimes.com/athletic/765...
@charlottevarnes.bsky.socialReposted by @mattgelb.bsky.socialSome scene from the post-game clubhouse, where several Phillies players praised Don Mattingly’s job as interim manager. It might not save him.

@charlottevarnes.bsky.socialReposted by @mattgelb.bsky.socialNearly the entire Phillies lineup regressed or did not improve in 2026. What comes now?

@mattgelb.bsky.socialThere was less heartbreak this time; just acceptance. The Phillies haven’t won a postseason series in 1,086 days. A eulogy for 2026 -- and what felt like something more than that: www.nytimes.com/athletic/765...
@mattgelb.bsky.socialBraves 6, Phillies 2. The season ends in the Wild Card Series, and a long winter awaits the Phillies.
@mattgelb.bsky.socialIt's closing time for the Phillies. Ozzie Albies homers off Zack Wheeler to make it 5-0.
@mattgelb.bsky.socialThe Phillies are lifting Aaron Nola with two outs in the second inning. Tim Mayza's coming into the game. Zack Wheeler will likely follow in the third inning. Nightmare scenario here for Phillies.
@mattgelb.bsky.socialUpdate on Edmundo Sosa, over on @theathletic.com’s live blog for the only baseball game tonight: www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

@charlottevarnes.bsky.socialReposted by @mattgelb.bsky.social“He’s been through the wringer this year, on and off the field. No person or player or anybody should have to go through those situations.”
Alec Bohm was four outs away from the potential end of his Phillies career. Then he homered to save the season:
