PHOENIX — Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen has agreed to a new contract through the 2028 season with a club option for 2029, it was announced Wednesday.
Hazen has been the architect of the D-backs’ rebuild, helping the team qualify for the playoffs this October for the first time since 2017.
The 47-year-old Hazen has made several shrewd moves over the past year, including a trade with the Blue Jays that brought catcher Gabriel Moreno and outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to the franchise.
He also signed rookie Corbin Carroll to an $111 million, eight-year deal during spring training despite the fact that Carroll had only played 32 games in the big leagues before this season. The 23-year-old Carroll has responded with a huge year and is among the frontrunners for the NL Rookie of the Year award.
