Diamondbacks Retain Lovullo on Two-Year Deal

Lovullo just completed his 10th season at the helm, guiding the Diamondbacks to an 86-76 record that saw them miss the playoffs for a third consecutive year. Despite this, the team has committed to Lovullo through 2028, valuing his leadership that led to the franchise's 2023 NL pennant and two playoff appearances in his tenure.

The Diamondbacks have made the playoffs just twice during Lovullo's time as manager (2017 and 2023), with the 2017 season featuring 93 wins - their most under his leadership. Lovullo currently holds the franchise record with 750 managerial wins, far surpassing second-place Kirk Gibson's 353. Lovullo and general manager Mike Hazen have both been in their respective positions since 2017, providing continuity to the organization as several key players including Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly, and Mike Soroka are set to hit free agency this offseason. playerbros.org
