ANAHEIM, Calif. — Last week, as the Phillies were in the midst of their longest winning streak this season, Dave Dombrowski convened a meeting with about 10 team officials at Citizens Bank Park. The topic?“We were just talking about the future,” Dombrowski said. “Where do we go?”The Phillies did not decide overnight that their leadership in player development needed a restructuring; Dombrowski said his people had been discussing it “gradually throughout the year.” And, Dombrowski said, removing oversight of the entire farm system from Luke Murton’s responsibilities while promoting him to an assistant general manager was not an admission that things haven’t progressed as the franchise would like.But the Phillies, in a win-now mode without a robust farm system, felt something needed to change.“I want whoever’s in charge of player development to be hands-on day in and day out,” Dombrowski, the club’s president of baseball operations, said Friday at Angel Stadium. “It just cuts people too thin sometimes. There’s just more and more that goes on all the time. And I think the sophistication of the hitting, it’s so much more now than it used to be. … So I don’t think it was per se something was missing in player development as much as I really want somebody who’s going to do that full-time.”That will lead to what Dombrowski called a “progressive” approach. Murton will essentially fill his previous job, director of hitting, with a different title. The Phillies will continue to have pitching coach Caleb Cotham set the organizational-wide pitching philosophies while two directors of pitching development implement them. And the club will hire a new director of player development who exists somewhere among all of them.Murton had been asked to do three jobs, Dombrowski said. He was the director of player development, director of hitting and something akin to an assistant director of amateur scouting. But for the last two years with Murton atop the farm system, inconsistent leadership created uneven communication, according to multiple team sources who spoke on condition of anonymity to candidly discuss organizational matters.Dombrowski and Murton disputed the notion that larger issues existed in how the Phillies ran their player development.“Coming out of those meetings, we didn’t feel that we’re going to make any more wholesale changes per se,” Dombrowski said. “We just think it’s a change of the structure that we want to emphasize on the hitting aspect of it.”“I think we had really good systems in place,” Murton said Saturday. “I think that we had really good people in place, to where I think it was definitely manageable. I think we did a solid job. Overall, big picture, part of the restructuring is people are going to start sitting in seats to maximize everybody’s potential. I’m thankful for the opportunity.”
