Chuck Lamar resigns from Philadelphia Phillies assistant GM job

FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES

You would think Phillies Assistant General Manager Chuck LaMar would be riding high as the Lehigh Valley IronPigs make their first Triple-A playoff appearance and the Double-A Reading Phillies are also in the postseason.

But something caused Lamar, the person who oversees the Phillies minor league operations, to tender his resignation with the Phillies. People around the team reacted with surprise at the departure.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that LaMar as recently as last week was enthusiastic about the team's minor-league system.

"A lot of teams want to say they have the best arrangement in baseball, but we do have it here," LaMar told the newspaper. "From Lehigh Valley to Reading to Lakewood and the spring-training facility in Clearwater, it is just a fantastic setup."

LaMar is a former general manager of the Tampa Bay Rays.
