Offseason Outlook: Philadelphia Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies enter the offseason facing significant roster questions after being eliminated in the Wild Card round by the Atlanta Braves. Following an inconsistent 2026 campaign that ended their two-year reign atop the NL East, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski confirmed manager Don Mattingly on a two-year contract after previous targets Alex Cora, Chase Utley, and Raul Ibanez declined the role.

Changes have already begun across the coaching staff, with hitting coach Kevin Long and infield coach Bobby Dickerson departing. Carlos Mendoza has joined as infield coach, while Peter Fatse is reportedly set to take over as hitting coach to revitalize an offense that struggled behind down years from Trea Turner, Alec Bohm, and J.T. Realmuto.
