Diamondbacks Manager Torey Lovullo Returns to Team on 2-Year Deal, AP Source Says
Lovullo, 61, is the winningest manager in team history and led Arizona to a World Series appearance in 2023.
- On Thursday, the Arizona Diamondbacks signed manager Torey Lovullo to a new two-year contract, aligning his tenure with General Manager Mike Hazen and confirming the team's leadership stability.
- Lovullo's future with the club was in flux after the Diamondbacks missed the playoffs for a third straight year, finishing with an 86-76 record and missing a National League Wild Card spot on Sunday.
- Lovullo just finished his 10th season, holding the third-longest tenure among MLB managers behind Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash and Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts, with a 750-768 career record.
- Managerial security was a key storyline, as Lovullo, Seattle Mariners skipper Dan Wilson, and Houston Astros manager Joe Espada faced potential termination; Seattle replaced Wilson while Houston made the playoffs.
- "I want to win a world championship with this organization, but I want to be wanted," Lovullo said after the season, emphasizing his commitment to Arizona after managing since 2017.
