Rob Thomson FIRED - Cora to the Phillies?
Another manager. Another firing. And the timeline of this one might be even wilder than the Cora situation.
The Phillies just fired Rob Thompson and named Don Mattingly interim manager — and Dave Dombrowski openly admitted he'd already reached out to Alex Cora before pulling the trigger. Anthony and Parker break down what really happened, and why this firing looks completely different from what went down in Boston.
In this episode:
Parker calls his shot: Cora's path to Philly (and why he turned it down — for now)
Why managers will line up to work for Dombrowski over Breslow
The Chaim Bloom / Breslow / Cora connection nobody's talking about
Was Don Mattingly hired as bench coach KNOWING this was coming?
Why Breslow's seat is white hot — and who replaces him
Can Dombrowski + Cora squeeze one more title out of the aging Phillies?
The first-ever father-son GM/manager combo in MLB history 🤯
