The Phillies announced they’ve hired longtime Twins GM Terry Ryan to a “special assignment scout” position with the team.
Ryan spent 31 years with the Twins, including 2 different stints as the clubs GM. Also, Ryan was the “midwest scouting supervisor” for the Mets in the early 80’s, which sorta has a similar ring to it.
Here are some quotes from the press release:
“I’m very happy to be joining the Phillies and have the opportunity to provide some impact and evaluation…. This is an exciting time for the franchise as they have what many in the industry consider to be one of the top farm systems in baseball.
