Ruben Amaro Jr. will reportedly be named the Phillies' next general manager, with an official announcement expected to come on Monday. According to the Philadelphia Daily News, citing "sources close to the situation," club president Dave Montgomery met Friday with Mike Arbuckle, the team's assistant GM, and told him that Amaro was given the job. As the club's assistant GM, Amaro long has been speculated as the man who would succeed Pat Gillick, the 71-year-old who was hired three years ago. Gillick's contract expired Oct. 31, and he has long stated his intention to step down.
