Maybe he should get back to making that deal than telling the media that he’s going to make a deal. Get your priorities straight here Ruben. And I’m not even a Phillies fan
He has no say, in any Phillies deals. He is a gm in title only. Don’t you get it?
He is out the door as soon as the final game is played in 2015
Heard it was Revere to Blue Jays.
from?
A tweet from Todd Zolecki.
how about 2 deals- Revere and Harang.
I think Harang will go in August along Ruiz.
It’s kind of funny that Amaro is still fooling the public , to believe he actually has something to do with these moves.
I would bet anything, he cannot name all the players the Phillies got back for Hamels, since he had nothing to do with that deal.
What a buffoon!
yes, hearing him on the radio the other night was hard to take..
then a caller was yelling at him comparing hamels to carlton, and imploring him not to trade Cole. i thought for a moment Rube would slip and admit he didnt want to trade Hamels, but they werent listening to him anymore.
Jays out on Revere, Orioles still a possibility. A Ryan Howard and Revere to BAL for Mychal Givens or a Mike Wright/Tyler Wilson would be interesting, but PHI would have to eat a LOT of payroll.
He also needs to investigate the Padres looking to dump Gyorko’s contract. That’s an opportunity to obtain a player that might have a little upside, and maybe get a prospect too.
And all it would cost is the cash, and a lower level prospect (or Dom Brown).
Phils have money… time to start buying some prospects!
yep, they need to be in full sam hinkie mode- and Gyorko would actually have some pop at second base unlike hernandez.
It would have to be a pretty darn good prospect to take on Gyorko’s minimum of $33 million owed from 2016-2019. Atlanta got Touki for Arroyo’s $14 mil owed.
teams arent lining up to make a run at Jerome williams?
i think andy mcphail are more behind these trades than amaro is pretending to be.
