Klentak was never fired, just as Howie wasn't fired in 2015 despite every fist pumper thinking otherwise.

Wade was technically "fired", but it was clear that ownership believed in what he was doing and sought to continue his long term plan.

Do you remember a few years ago when you questioned how tall Sanchez was and they listed him like 6'1. Now he like towers over everyone and I can't get this out of my head. But, he was too old to have a growth spurt when he moved up to majors.

Saturday, the Phillies announced that Klentak “stepped down” as GM after nearly five years on the job. Klentak, who has two years remaining on his contract, will remain in the organization in an unspecified role. Middleton said Andy MacPhail will remain as team president and Ned Rice will be interim general manager.Oct 3, 2020


I'm conversing with the same person who said nothing as Terp and the rest of the whack pack credited Joe Douglas, and not Howie Roseman, for being the brains behind the 2017 title team.

The same person who accepted without questions claims that Gillick was still running the show years after Amaro officially took over the GM job.

You can't understand basic things like Covid being airborne, or Embiid's knee being structurally fine in 2025.  Something as inherently complex as a voluntary transition of executive leadership for a billion+ dollar company is light years above your pea sized brain.

Fact: Girardi and Caleb were hired while Klentak was still in charge.
