The Phillies have dismissed GM Ruben Amaro Jr., effective immediately, president-in-waiting Andy MacPhail announced Thursday.

He helped to create some great memories for Phillies fans with his accomplishments, but in order to return to a top-contending club, we believe this is the right thing to do as we continue the rebuilding process."
