Diamondbacks Retain Lovullo

The Diamondbacks' decision comes after Lovullo's 10th season (2017-26) with an 86-76 record that saw them miss the playoffs for a third consecutive time. The team has made the playoffs just twice during his tenure, highlighted by the 2023 NL pennant win. Lovullo holds the franchise record with 750 managerial wins, far surpassing Kirk Gibson's 353 second-place total.

General Manager Mike Hazen, who has worked alongside Lovullo since 2017, now faces an offseason with several key players hitting free agency, including starting pitchers Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly, and Mike Soroka, reliever Taylor Clarke, and catcher James McCann. esporist.org
