The Philadelphia Phillies season has not started as expected and there is plenty of blame to go around.

Beyond the top of the batting order, the team’s offense has been a significant disappointment. Several pitchers are struggling. The front office decision to reunite with Kyle Schwarber and JT Realmuto while doing little else has come into question. And manager Rob Thomson made a notable gaffe during the recent series opener against the division rival Atlanta Braves.

“The sixth inning was not the only failure, but it was a new type of issue. There appeared to be a breakdown in communication somewhere on the Phillies bench,” The Athletic’s Matt Gelb wrote after the team’s tenth-straight loss on Friday, which included reliever Kyle Backhus entering without a significant warmup to face Braves outfielder Michael Harris II, then promptly giving up the lead. “They have four lefties in the bullpen, and all of them were available to pitch Friday… Except the Phillies did not have a lefty ready.”

Philadelphia Phillies’ Rob Thomson Under Fire As Team Struggles

The Phillies have already extended Thomson for the 2027 season, but if their distance in the standings doesn’t shorten soon, it’s not unthinkable that the team could fire him. Thomson’s most likely replacement in that scenario seems to be in the dugout already, in bench coach and New York Yankees legend Don Mattingly.

But the Phillies struggles, alongside those of the Boston Red Sox, are so pronounced that ESPN MLB reporter Buster Olney recently floated a replacement move that would bring in former Red Sox skipper Alex Cora.

Philadelphia Phillies’ Executive Dave Dombrowski Has Ties To Boston Red Sox Skipper Alex Cora

“If the Phillies continue to struggle, I thought, you know, a manager who, Dave Dombrowski and the Phillies, maybe they’re interested in is Alex Cora,” Olney said during a recent episode of the “Baseball Tonight” podcast. “Knowing that Alex had that great working relationship with (Dombrowski) in Boston, knowing how the Red Sox have started, if you got to the point, is that a crazy piece of speculation?”

Olney was referring to Dombrowski’s time as the president of baseball operations with the Red Sox from 2015 to 2019, which included replacing manager John Farrell with Cora after the 2017 season. Cora went on to lead the Red Sox to a World Series championship the next season, then Dombrowski joined the Phillies in 2020.

And now that the Red Sox have cut ties with Cora, just over 25 games into the season, Olney’s idea and his point about the connection between Dombrowski and his former manager suddenly became much more intriguing. If the Phillies opt to make a similar move with Thomson, perhaps Cora would be a candidate to replace him. But in the midst of the season, even if Thomson is fired, an interim like Mattingly would be most likely to finish out the year.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
