Former Cubs outfielder Sam Fuld is the new Philadelphia Phillies GM.
The Philadelphia Phillies have promoted former big league outfielder Sam Fuld to the role of general manager, the team announced on Tuesday. Of course, Cubs fans know that name for the few seasons he spent on the North Side early in his career.
Following the end of his playing days, Fuld joined the Phillies front office as a player information coordinator under former manager Gabe Kapler. The most recent position held by Fuld was as the team’s director of integrative baseball performance.
