The Arizona Diamondbacks have eliminated debt. The pandemic is over. It's time to invest in the product on the field.
It didn’t take long for the Diamondbacks to scatter to their respective homes after the season ended Wednesday in Milwaukee. That’s why media members outnumbered players about 4-to-1 in the clubhouse at Chase Field on Thursday in the last scheduled availability of the year.Infielder Josh Rojas talked about improving his defense. General Manager Mike Hazen said he has to do a better job building a bullpen.
Both were reasons given over the years for one of the more restrictive budgets in baseball. Under Kendrick, the Diamondbacks have never been among the top half of the league in payroll, and they have almost always resided in the bottom third.In 2022, they spent around $100 million on players and are projected to be around $100 million in 2023, based on the Diamondbacks calculations. By far, that’s less than any other team in their division.
This is what a general manager is supposed to say, and it can be true. The Rays, for instance, have spent considerably less than the Diamondbacks over the years and have been considerably more successful.Now is a perfect time for Kendrick to not just check that his wallet is safe in his hip pocket, but to pull it out and let the leather crack.Yes, the Diamondbacks drew just 1.6 million fans in 2022, the fewest in a full, non-pandemic season in their history.
They won 74 games, 22 more than the year before, which Hazen and Lovullo correctly noted wasn’t worthy of a downtown parade. They still lost 88 games, including 42 games in which they were either tied or ahead at the start of the sixth inning.
