The Philadelphia Phillies have extended manager Rob Thomson's contract for one year, keeping him with the team through the 2026 season after leading the club to three consecutive playoff appearances. Thomson, who boasts a franchise-best .575 winning percentage, guided the team to the 2022 World Series and the 2023 NL Championship Series, although they were eliminated in the 2024 NL Division Series by the New York Mets. Phillies president Dave Dombrowski emphasized the importance of stability in management, stating that Thomson's success and the coaching staff's efficiency played a crucial role in the extension. Thomson expressed his commitment to the team, indicating this is his desired final managerial stop. Despite a disappointing postseason, the coaching staff, including hitting coach Kevin Long, will remain intact for the upcoming season as the team looks to improve its performance. The Phillies ended the 2024 season with a notable 95-67 record, but will need to address their bullpen issues and overall offensive output moving forward.
