Preston Mattingly Named Phillies VP and GM

The Philadelphia Phillies have promoted Preston Mattingly to Vice President and General Manager, succeeding Sam Fuld, who will transition to President of Business Operations after completing his MBA at Wharton in 2026. Mattingly, son of baseball legend Don Mattingly, has been with the Phillies since 2021 and previously worked with the San Diego Padres in scouting roles. This promotion is part of a broader front-office reshuffle that includes Luke Murton's promotion to Director of Player Development and Edwar Gonzalez to Director of Hitting Development. Dave Dombrowski remains the President of Baseball Operations, ensuring continuity within the organization. Fuld, who has been with the Phillies since 2020 as GM, is expected to oversee business operations once he graduates. The Phillies, under Dombrowski and Mattingly, aim to strengthen their roster in the offseason, potentially targeting high-profile players like Juan Soto.
