BREAKING: Amaro Out as Phillies GM
In a move only stunning due to its timing, happening within an hour of our publishing a piece here at TBOH calling for his not returning as the Phillies GM beyond this current season, the team has announced the firing of senior VP and general manager Ruben Amaro.
Amaro rose from the Phillies’ bat boy during their 1980 World Series championship season to become a player for the team for parts of five seasons during the 1990’s, including the wildly popular 1993 NL champions.
Amaro then became the team’s assistant GM, and finally the general manager following the 2008 World Series championship.
