00:00One thing I think you're very good at beyond player procurement is picking the managers.
00:03Obviously, you've hired Jim Leland a couple of times.
00:06Rob Thompson worked when you hired him, and Mattingly has worked so far.
00:10You did try to hire Alex Cora, who you won a World Series, one of your two World Series
00:14championships.
00:14You've been to the World Series five times, which I should have mentioned at the beginning
00:17with four different teams.
00:19So that's pretty darn impressive.
00:21But you did try to hire Alex Cora, and he wanted to take the summer to be with his family,
00:26which is only admirable.
00:28Do you think Cora could be a possibility for the Phillies down the road?
00:32Well, we really haven't thought anything, like I said, about that.
00:34Alex Cora did a great job for us in Boston.
00:37He's, to me, a very good big league manager.
00:39He's a friend of mine at this point.
00:40But really, all of those things are for future topics at the end of the season.
00:44And really, we haven't gotten into those at all, because I don't think that it's ever
00:48good to not focus on what we need to do, which is right here on the field.
00:52So a tremendous person.
00:53And when you mention those good managers, he's right in that same topic of conversation.
00:58But we'll wait and see what happens after the season goes as far as the Phillies in 2027.
01:03herman.
01:03Kies him as far as the Phillies in 2027.
