In a recent ranking of MLB front offices by senior writer Tyler Kepner of The Athletic, the Arizona Diamondbacks, led by general manager Mike Hazen, were placed at No. 8. The Diamondbacks received 30 total points and one first-place vote in the survey of 40 top decision-makers in the league.
Under Hazen’s leadership, the Diamondbacks have seen success with five winning seasons, two playoff appearances, and a trip to the World Series in 2023. Despite some high-profile misses in free agency and trades, the team has made strategic acquisitions such as Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Eugenio Suarez, Corbin Burnes, and Josh Naylor.
The Diamondbacks have also focused on locking in their young core with long-term contracts for players like Corbin Carroll, Ketel Marte, and Brandon Pfaadt. This strategy has provided the team with stability and flexibility moving forward.
Hazen and his staff have been praised for their ability to compete successfully without the resources of big-market teams. One voter in the survey noted that the Diamondbacks’ front office is underrated and impressive in their accomplishments.
The top 10 MLB front offices list also included teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tampa Bay Ray, Milwaukee Brewers, and Cleveland Guardians among others. The Diamondbacks’ placement at No. 8 solidifies their standing as a competitive and well-run organization in the league.
