Farm director candidate has interesting ties to this Phillies legend

Roster shakeups can’t happen until the offseason, but Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has been making sweeping changes to the front office and player development side of the franchise all season.

The latest rumor has Dombrowski bringing another former Yankee to Philadelphia to join manager Joe Girardi.

David Adams, who is currently in the Yankees’ player development department, is considered a “serious candidate for the Phillies farm director post.”

Adams has an interesting connection to the Phillies already. In 2010, the Yankees were close to a trade deadline deal for pitcher Cliff Lee, who had pitched a complete game against them in the 2009 World Series.
