RUMOR: Philadelphia Phillies Hitting Coach Kevin Long Under Consideration for MLB Managerial Vacancies

When a team finds success in dramatic fashion, their coaching staff tends to become the target of other organizations. Thus, it would seem the talent-poaching hunt is coming for the Philadelphia Phillies.

According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, Phillies hitting coach Kevin Long is under consideration for the multitude of managerial vacancies spread out across Major League Baseball.

While Long has never managed at the major league level, his experience and knowledge is well-respected and recognized throughout the game. The 55-year-old veteran has two championships under his belt, one with the New York Yankees and one with the Washington Nationals.
