The Phillies have made their first significant off-season deal, but it doesn't involve a left fielder or a starting pitcher. Jim Salisbury is reporting (via Todd Zolecki) that the Phils have picked up Charlie Manuel's club option for 2010 and extended him through 2011.
If ever a man has turned this tough town around and flat out earned its full respect, it's Uncle Charlie. We couldn't be happier to know he'll be hanging on the Phillies dugout netting for a few more years.
