D-backs Decision: Should Hazen and Lovullo go?

The Arizona Diamondbacks missed the playoffs for a third consecutive year at the conclusion of the 2026 season. Manager Torey Lovullo's three-year contract has now effectively expired without an extension, prompting an upcoming decision on his future. General Manager Mike Hazen, who originally hired Lovullo in November 2016, also faces scrutiny regarding his long-term position.

Lovullo is the longest-tenured manager in franchise history, having managed 1,518 regular-season games. Hazen is officially under contract through the end of 2028, but the team's postseason absence comes despite recording franchise-high payrolls in recent seasons.
