Last week, the Diamondbacks hired former Red Sox “GM” Mike Hazen from the Red Sox organization to be their lead baseball personnel man. This week, he will be joined by one of his co-workers there with former Red Sox Vice President of International and Amateur Scouting Amiel Sawdaye. Sawdaye has accepted the offer to become the Senior Vice President and Assistant GM in Arizona, which was De Jon Watson’s job for the last two seasons. He was weighing whether to stay in Boston as the GM in title only or take a similar role out in Arizona.
Sawdaye joined the Red Sox front office in 2002 as an intern.
