The Phillies will not renew the contract of Triple A manager Dave Brundage, a source tells CSNPhilly.com's Jim Salisbury on Thursday.
The move was first reported by The Morning Call.
Brundage will be replaced by Double A Reading manager Dusty Wathan, leaving the Fightin Phils' job vacant.
Brundage has been the Lehigh Valley manager since 2013, taking over for Ryne Sandberg. The timing is somewhat odd considering he finished this season 85-58 and led the IronPigs to a playoff appearance. It's worth noting, however, that Brundage was hired by the previous regime.
This isn't the first shakeup for Matt Klentak and company. They recently fired three longtime members of their scouting department as director of amateur scouting Johnny Almaraz puts his stamp on the organization.
A former fourth-round pick of the Phillies in 1986, Brundage was with the Braves' organization from 2007 through 2012. He leaves the IronPigs as their longest-tenured manager, finishing with a career record of 286-292.
Ruiz trade complete
The trade that sent Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz to the Dodgers is now complete. The player to be named later in the deal is 22-year-old outfielder Joey Curletta.

The right-handed hitting Curletta was a sixth-round pick of the Dodgers out of high school in 2012. Splitting time between High A and Double A, Curletta hit .251 with 17 homers and 67 RBIs this season.
