So who could be taking over as the new GM in Pittsburgh?

One rumor says Phillies assistant GM Ruben Amaro Jr. - see Phils Amaro Jr. favorite for Pirates GM job?

Other names linked to the Bucs have been former Twins GM Terry Ryan, Indians assistant GM Chris Antonetti, Arizona assistant GM Peter Woodfork, Toronto player personnel director Tony LaCava, ex-Phillies GM Ed Wade, and Seattle front office assistant Dan Evans. Ryan sure would be nice. He worked wonders with the Twins.

It sounds like the search may be over. Nothing is official but...

"Multiple baseball sources told The Times on Thursday night that the Pirates have decided to hire Neal Huntington, a special assistant to the general manager with the Cleveland Indians."

Yeah, I've heard that too, but the team is denying it. I wonder what's up.

Either they offered him the job and he hasn't accepted yet or they haven't finished interviewing candidates.

Or any other possibility lol.

Or the report's flat out incorrect (see: Chris Mortensen's report on Eli Manning's injury).
