The Toronto Blue Jays have hired former Tampa Bay general manager Chuck Lamar as a special assistant for amateur scouting.

Lamar was Tampa Bay's first general manager, from 1995-05, and spent the last three seasons as Philadelphia's assistant GM of player development and scouting. He was a special assistant to the Washington GM in 2007.

''With over 25 years of experience, we welcome Chuck's insight and expertise,'' Andrew Tinnish, Toronto's director of amateur scouting, said Friday.
