Diamondbacks Retain Lovullo on Two-Year Deal

The Diamondbacks made the decision despite Lovullo overseeing an 86-76 season in 2026 that marked the third consecutive year the team missed the playoffs. Arizona has made the playoffs just twice in Lovullo's tenure (2017 and 2023), with the 2023 NL pennant being the highlight of his managerial career. raccoongame.org

Lovullo, who has 750 managerial wins (most in Diamondbacks history), has been with the team since 2017 alongside GM Mike Hazen. The team will face an important offseason as several key players including Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly and Mike Soroka are set to hit free agency.
