## Resource

Brodes argues that the Phillies should hire Alex Cora as manager to provide the "grit" and "snarl" that he believes the current group lacks under Don Mattingly or Rob Thomson. He also expresses deep frustration with the Flyers front office after Leo Carlsson officially remained with the Anaheim Ducks, questioning the team's ability to acquire superstar talent.
