BREAKING: 

The Arizona Diamondbacks will retain manager Torey Lovullo for his 10th season, a team source confirmed to Arizona Sports.

The Diamondbacks entered 2025 with a record payroll nearing $200 million and expectations to compete for a championship, which did not materialize in an 80-82 season.

Managing partner Ken Kendrick told Arizona Sports‘ John Gambadoro, “I have never been more disappointed in a season than this one because our expectations were so high.”

The 2025 season was disastrous through the trade deadline, however, as poor defense, pitching woes and injuries led to a 51-58 record by July 31. Merrill Kelly, Naylor and Eugenio Suarez were among the D-backs shipped to other teams, while Arizona was left with a younger roster for the final two months.

That is where Lovullo may have saved his job.

The Diamondbacks played their best baseball of the season with a less experienced, more athletic team, staying alive in the Wild Card race until the final weekend of the regular season. Their identity that leaned on speed, solid defense, good starting pitching and enough thump to score enough runs materialized as they climbed back into the pennant chase.
