The Arizona Diamondbacks are bringing back Torey Lovullo, and now we’re breaking down everything Lovullo and Mike Hazen had to say about that decision during Thursday’s press conference. Why does Hazen believe Lovullo is still the right manager to lead this team, and what does Lovullo need to prove heading into 2027?

We also revisit the D-backs’ only trade at the deadline: the acquisition of Lars Nootbaar from the St. Louis Cardinals. Now that the player to be named later has officially been revealed, we break down the full deal, whether the Diamondbacks gave up too much in Brian Curley, and whether Nootbaar can ultimately make the trade worth it.

Plus, the Philadelphia Phillies are officially eliminated after the Atlanta Braves win the decisive Wild Card game, and we react accordingly to their early postseason exit.

What the Diamondbacks MUST CHANGE in 2027 to Evolve
