Matt Williams – Former Nationals manager
It’s a familiar name because the Phillies face him a lot in Washington. Williams won 179 games in his lone two seasons with the Nationals, but failed to manage characters such Bryce Harper and Jonathan Papelbon.
Ron Roenicke – Former Brewers manager
Roenicke spent four full seasons managing Milwaukee, including a 96-win season in 2011. Unfortunately, the team regressed nearly every season under his leadership.
Mike Scioscia – Current Angels manager with a World Series ring
If the Angels ever decide to move on from their manager of 18 years, Mike Scioscia knows where to go. The Upper Darby native would be a great hire for Philadelphia, and could potentially lure Mike Trout home as well down the road.
