Two men who played key roles in the Philadelphia Phillies organization in recent years have each landed jobs with new teams in the American League.
Former Phillies’ general manager Ruben Amaro Jr has been hired as the first base coach with the Boston Red Sox of the AL East Division. Former Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee will take on that same pitching coach role with the Detroit Tigers of the AL Central Division.
Amaro is from a baseball family. His father and both of his grandparents played the game professionally.
