Or so you might mistakenly assume from reading the Toronto Sun.
Philadelphia Phillies general manger (sic) Ruben Amaro was at the Rogers Centre on Saturday afternoon and a day later he was as good as gone.
A one-day trip always means the evaluator was looking at pitching.
Amaro picked a good day to see Blue Jays starter Josh Towers, with the July 31-non-waiver trade deadline eight days away.
I suppose there’s no real reason for Toronto baseball people to be especially familiar with Amaro’s boss. Of course, considering the former emergency catcher gives almost all the interviews and is part of the Phillies’ old-boy network, it’s an understandable mistake, if not actual precognition.
In fact, you mean Phils’ Assistant GM Rueben Amaro Jr., not to be confused with his father, who’s the one pictured on the baseball card.
