The Arizona Diamondbacks<\/strong> 2016 season was a trainwreck, and apparently so was the front office. Tony La Russa<\/a><\/strong> was the only member of\u00a0Baseball Operations and Management to stay within the organization, with both Chip Hale<\/a><\/strong> and Dave Stewart<\/a><\/strong> fired on Monday.\u00a0La Russa is now no longer the President of Baseball Operations, and was offered an advisory role. He would have a voice in the room, but would not direct in any way. He is expected to decide within the next day or two. The new general manager will head up baseball ops.<\/p>\n
