Daily News | Joe Girardi’s contract with the Phillies isn’t guaranteed beyond 2022, but he’s not sweating it
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Ninety-nine days without being able to sign a player, make a trade, or even speak to agents and rival general managers about signing players or making trades left Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski plenty of time to tie up other loose ends.“No,” Dombrowski said Sunday, as Phillies players reported for spring training. “Nothing has changed.”
The Phillies haven’t performed to expectations since they hired Girardi to replace Gabe Kapler after the 2019 season. It’s fair to question Girardi’s impatience with young players, such as outfielders Adam Haseley and Mickey Moniak. He has a reputation as a master of bullpen management, but Phillies relievers have combined for a 5.20 ERA since 2000, third-worst in the majors.
Perhaps it was under those circumstances that Dombrowski offered a kinder assessment of Girardi’s job performance last year.“He did fine. He did a good job for us,” Dombrowski said. “I think he’s a good leader of our club. He handles situations well, manages well. He’s well-respected, has good communication with the players, has good communication with me. I think Joe did a good job for us.”
