Andy MacPhail (born April 5, 1953) is the president of baseball operations for the Baltimore Orioles. He was the president/CEO of the National League Chicago Cubs from September 9, 1994 until Oct. 1, 2006. He won two World Series championships as general manager of the Minnesota Twins (1987, 1991). In June 2007, he was hired as the President of Baseball Operations of the Baltimore Orioles by owner Peter Angelos.

Though the team's won-loss record has not been improved in the short term, MacPhail has won acclaim from fans and baseball insiders for addressing and improving infrastructure and personnel. He has re-stocked the Orioles pitching staff, signed two key draft picks, moved spring training to Sarasota, Florida, improved international scouting and won the trust of owner Peter Angelos.[1]

He is the son of former American League president Lee MacPhail, and the grandson of Larry MacPhail, the only father-and-son members of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Andy MacPhail is a graduate of Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA.
