Phillies extend front office exec

The Philadelphia Phillies have announced a three-year extension for president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski. The deal will take him through 2027 with the Phillies.

Dombrowski has been in this role with Philadelphia since 2020. He has won the World Series twice, once with the Marlins in 1997 and once in 2018. This season, the underdog Phillies made it all the way to the Wild Card bid before losing in six games to Houston Astros. Manager Rob Thomson signed a two-year deal that takes him through 2024 with Phillies.

MLB playoffs: Phillies are this good

PHOENIX - Philadelphia is where the other shoe drops. It's where epic sports disappointments reign. Two and three generations ago it was the "Whiz Kids" in 1950, then the Phillies' collapse in 1964, and the 1980 Eagles, who beat the Cowboys, finally reached the Super Bowl, then forgot how to play football. The last generation grew up with Andy Reid…

PHILADELPHIA - Dave Dombrowski was brought in to do what Pat Gillick as Phillies' general manager accomplished in 2008. Take a solid Phillies' nucleus and get it over the top.

This World Series is a referendum on team-building

This year's matchup between the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies is proof that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to building a World Series contender. Baseball is a copycat sport. Every five years or so, a team comes around and experiences so much success that everyone tries to emulate it. The mentality is: If it worked for them,…

Who in the world would have envisioned this? One full week-plus into October there were still two managers with "interim" tags who awoke on Friday not fearing the guillotine.
