Editing Philadelphia Phillies (section)

=== End of an era (2013–2018) ===
During the [[2013 Philadelphia Phillies season|2013 season]], the team struggled again and was unable to consistently play well for the majority of the season. On August 16, 2013, with the team's record at 53–68, the Phillies fired manager Charlie Manuel, who had managed the team since 2005,<ref>{{cite web |title=2013 Philadelphia Phillies |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/PHI/2013.shtml |access-date=July 26, 2014 |website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref> and promoted third-base coach [[Ryne Sandberg]] to interim manager. Manuel had spent over nine years as manager, leading Philadelphia to its first World Series victory in nearly 30 years and amassing an overall record of 780–636 to become the manager with the most wins in the franchise's history. The 2013 Phillies ended up with a record of 73–89, their first losing season since 2002. In the off-season, pitcher Roy Halladay retired from baseball.

In the [[2014 Philadelphia Phillies season|2014 season]], one of the few bright spots was the September 1 game against a division rival, the Atlanta Braves, when starter Cole Hamels and relievers [[Jake Diekman]], [[Ken Giles]], and [[Jonathan Papelbon]] combined for a [[no-hitter]] at [[Turner Field]] and a 7–0 victory over Atlanta. In the first round of the [[2014 Major League Baseball draft|2014 MLB Draft]] the Phillies selected pitcher [[Aaron Nola]] with the 7th overall pick. The team could not gain momentum during the season and finished last in the NL East, the first time they had done so since 2000. During the off-season, Jimmy Rollins waived his no-trade clause and was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Cliff Lee pitched his last game and was sidelined for the entire 2015 season due to injury. 

In [[2015 Philadelphia Phillies season|2015]], attendance began to drop as the team showed little improvement and it was clear that the remnants of the 2008 World Series team would soon be departing. Sandberg resigned as manager and bench coach [[Pete Mackanin]] was brought in as interim manager. Cole Hamels no-hit the Chicago Cubs 5–0 at [[Wrigley Field]], on July 25, striking out 13 and giving up only two walks.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=350725116 | title= Philadelphia Phillies vs. Chicago Cubs – Box Score – July 25, 2015 – ESPN|website=[[ESPN]]| access-date=July 25, 2015}}</ref> It was the first no-hitter against the Cubs since [[Sandy Koufax's perfect game]] in 1965, and first at Wrigley Field since the Cubs' [[Milt Pappas]] in 1972.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2015/7/25/9040067/cole-hamels-no-hitter-phillies-cubs| title=Cole Hamels pitches no-hitter at Wrigley Field amid trade rumors| author=Eric Stephen| publisher=Vox Media| work=[[SB Nation|SBNation.com]] | date=July 25, 2015| access-date=July 25, 2015}}</ref> Hamels was dealt to the Texas Rangers, six days later.<ref>{{cite web| first=Jean-Jacques| last=Taylor| title=Cole Hamels quickly going to work for Texas after 8-player trade finalized|url= https://www.espn.com/dallas/mlb/story/_/id/13353524/texas-rangers-complete-cole-hamels-trade-8-player-deal-philadelphia-phillies| publisher=[[ESPN]]| date=August 1, 2015| access-date=October 2, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine| first=Cliff| last=Corcoran| title=Rangers land Cole Hamels from Phillies in move for 2016 and beyond| url= https://www.si.com/mlb/2015/07/30/cole-hamels-trade-rangers-rotation-prospects-phillies| magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]]| date=August 1, 2015| access-date=October 2, 2015}}</ref> The following month saw the departure of Chase Utley who was traded to the Dodgers. In September, general manager Rubén Amaro Jr. was fired and [[Andy MacPhail]] was brought in as the interim general manager.<ref>{{cite web|title=MacPhail to be Phillies president after season|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/andy-macphail-to-be-phillies-president-c133563016|website=[[MLB.com]]|access-date=March 2, 2017|archive-date=March 3, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170303122625/http://m.mlb.com/news/article/133563016/andy-macphail-to-be-phillies-president/|url-status=live}}</ref> The team once again finished last in the NL East with a record of 63–99.

In [[2016 Philadelphia Phillies season|2016]], the team finished fourth in the NL East, only winning eight more games than they had the previous year, with a 71–91 record. The 2016 season was the last for both Ryan Howard and [[Carlos Ruiz (baseball)|Carlos Ruiz]] in a Phillies' uniform. Ruiz was traded to the Dodgers in late August, reuniting him with Chase Utley. The team decided to not exercise their club option on Howard, thus making him a free agent. 

On September 29, 2017, Pete Mackanin was fired as manager. The Phillies announced [[Gabe Kapler]] as their new manager on October 30, 2017.<ref>{{cite web |title=Phillies Hire Gabe Kapler as Manager |url=https://www.mlb.com/press-release/phillies-hire-gabe-kapler-as-manager-260171488 |website=[[mlb.com]] |access-date=August 11, 2019}}</ref> Kapler had been the Director of Player Development for the Los Angeles Dodgers since November 2014. He led the Phillies in the right direction in the first half of the [[2018 Philadelphia Phillies season|2018 season]], as they had a 59–48 record at the July 31 trade deadline and were leading the NL East division by 1.5 games over the Atlanta Braves.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.inquirer.com/philly/sports/phillies/phillies-red-sox-recap-score-jake-arrieta-trade-deadline-nl-east-race-20180731.html |title=Jake Arrieta dazzles for seven innings to lift Phillies past Red Sox |last=Lauber |first=Scott |date=July 31, 2018 |website=inquirer.com |access-date=September 13, 2019}}</ref> However, a late-season collapse where they went 21–34 from August to the end of the season led to the Phillies finishing with an 80–82 record and third in the division. Aaron Nola amassed a record of 17–6 with a 2.37 earned run average and 0.975 WHIP.<ref>{{cite web |title=Baseball Reference: Aaron Nola |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/n/nolaaa01.shtml |website=[[baseball-reference.com]] |access-date=August 11, 2019}}</ref> He finished third in the National League Cy Young race, behind the Nationals' [[Max Scherzer]] and the winner, the Mets' [[Jacob DeGrom]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Nola finishes third in NL Cy Young Award voting |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/aaron-nola-third-in-nl-cy-young-award-voting-c300728400 |website=[[mlb.com]] |publisher=Todd Zolecki |access-date=August 11, 2019}}</ref>
