Members of coaching staff and front office looking to move up

November 2, 2011

Phillies bench coach Pete Mackanin was the first person to be interviewed for the job as the Boston Red Sox's manager, after Terry Francona was fired for the Red Sox's collapse in September.

Recently, the St. Louis Cardinals have asked the Phillies for permission to speak with Triple-A manager Ryne Sandberg about their own mangerial vacancy since Tony La Russa retired after the Cardinal's improbable World Series championship (that hurts to type).

It is reported that the Cardinals have been granted permission by Phillies to talk to Sandberg, who is a hall of fame player (played for the Phillies and St. Louis' rival Chicago Cubs) and a minor league manger for the Phils since 2007.

Now reports are being made that general manager Ruben Amaro Jr.'s assistant Scott Proefrock will have an interview with the Baltimore Orioles for their general manger position, that was formely filled by Andy McPhail.

Proefrock spent three years as Baltimore's director of baseball administration before joining the Phillies in 2009.
