Phillies Secure Rob Thomson as Manager Through 2026

In October 2024, the Philadelphia Phillies announced the extension of manager Rob Thomson's contract through the 2026 season. This decision was made public by president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski, who also confirmed that the entire coaching staff would return for the next season. The announcement came shortly after the Phillies' disappointing exit from the National League Division Series, where they were eliminated by the New York Mets in just four games. Thomson, who is 61 years old, has led the team to a notable 95-67 record this season, marking their first NL East title since 2011. Over his tenure with the Phillies, Thomson has achieved a record of 250 wins and 185 losses across parts of three seasons, demonstrating a significant turnaround for the franchise. The decision to retain Thomson and his staff reflects the organization's confidence in their leadership and the direction of the team moving forward.
