The Philadelphia Phillies removed the interim tag from manager Rob Thomson and signed him to a two-year contract through the 2024 season, the club announced Monday.
Thomson took over after the Phillies fired Joe Girardi on June 3 following a 22-29 start to the season. Philadelphia proceeded to win 14 of 16 games after Thomson took over.
Thomson finished his first season at the helm with a 65-46 record and helped lead the Phillies to an upset victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League wild-card series.
