Three-quarters of SnakePit members want to keep Torey Lovullo

A poll conducted by AZ Snake Pit revealed that 75% of participating community members voted to keep manager Torey Lovullo with the Arizona Diamondbacks. General manager Mike Hazen received 57% support, with 23% of voters expressing a desire to retain Lovullo while replacing Hazen. Following the vote, Lovullo agreed to a two-year contract extension running through the 2027 season.

Writer Jim McLennan argues that Lovullo's extension makes sense because it aligns his contract length with Hazen's and provides necessary continuity ahead of CBA negotiations. McLennan notes that while Hazen's moves faced scrutiny after Arizona missed the playoffs, Lovullo earned widespread community backing for guiding the team to a finish ten games over .500 despite significant roster injuries.
