Phillies manager Rob Thomson showed no animosity towards the team or front office which fired him on Tuesday, expressing a desire to remain in the organization if he's wanted.

Rob Thomson watched the Phillies on Tuesday. For the 62-year-old baseball lifer, it was a familiar activity in an unfamiliar setting. Since 2018, no other human being on the planet has seen more of the Philadelphia Phillies in person.

Rob Thomson’s firing by the Phillies gives Mariners fans a timely reminder that Dan Wilson’s scrutiny is not the same as real organizational chaos.
