Phillips suffered a season-ending injury early in 2025, but the former Braves pitcher has a chance to celebrate back-to-back World Series titles. If you don’t recall him being a Brave, that’s fine.

Besides the Braves, the Texas Rangers, San Francisco Giants, Minnesota Twins, and Los Angeles Angels are seeking new skippers.
