What he has done hasn't exactly been successful. That terrible stint as president of baseball operations for the Dbacks and then advisor to the GM for the Angels.

We should all thank him for giving Braves Dansby and Ender for what has amounted to a sack of peanuts. AUTiger7222 and labradford 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One voting member called it disturbing because they thought his body of work was finished. I don't understand why they would have a problem with it. Is he gonna somehow manage his way out of the HOF? That makes no sense because IMO once you're a HOF player/coach/executive you can't lose that. It's why I believe that guys like Bonds and Clemens deserve to be in. It's why I believe AJ25 should be in. I've heard stupid arguments against AJ25 where they said he doesn't belong in because "he ended his career on a bad note." I'm just like WTH? But he was a HOF player before that. Just because his career ended badly doesn't mean he can lose HOF status. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be surprised if he leaves the Rays. He really likes it there. But if he's interested in playing somewhere else then AA needs to scoop in!! Would be pretty cool to see Morton's career come back full circle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unknøwn 13,974 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Ruben Amaro has met with the Angels about their GM job. Theyve also met with 3 of Dayton Moore's assistants/advisors. Amaro has not worked in a FO since being fired in Philly. He spent this season a member of the Phillies broadcast crew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
