PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies manager Gabe Kapler lost his Malibu home in the wildfires that have ravaged California.
Kapler moved to Philadelphia last winter, when the Phillies hired him, but he kept his home about a mile from the Pacific Ocean. His two sons and ex-wife lived there. They are safe, but Kapler learned over the weekend the home had been destroyed.
"We're good," he told The Athletic. "Our family is good. There are a lot of other families who are not."
The New York Times reported the Woolsey fire outside Los Angeles has burned nearly 100,000 acres, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate.
