Christian Petersen/Getty Images(PHOENIX) — Arizona Diamondbacks General Manager Dave Stewart and manager Chip Hale are out after missing the playoffs for a fifth straight season.
The team announced the news in a press release Monday, and said they were still trying to decide “the appropriate role” for chief baseball officer Tony La Russa.
“Stew and Chip are quality individuals who I consider friends and I respect greatly,” said Diamondbacks President Derrick Hall. “I thank them for their tireless efforts while wearing our logo on their chests. We will look to move quickly as we turn the page and begin another chapter for this proud franchise.”
The Diamondbacks finished the season 69-93.
