The Philadelphia Phillies fired former general manger Ruben Amaro Jr. on Sept. 10, but the 50-year-old front office mind won't let the dismissal stop him from putting his baseball aptitude to work on the diamond.
According to the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo, Amaro is slated to join the Boston Red Sox as their new first base coach. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman confirmed the report.
The news of Amaro's unorthodox career move came on the same day the Phillies reportedly hired 35-year-old Matt Klentak to be the team's new general manager, according to CSN Philly's Jim Salisbury.
