On Tuesday night, the Arizona Diamondbacks officially announced the hiring of Boston Red Sox executive Amiel Sawdaye as the club’s assistant general manager.
Compensation will not be handed out for the transfers of Hazen or Sawdaye. During his tenure in Boston, Sawdaye garnered praise from his peers and others in baseball.
In 2002, Sawdaye joined the Red Sox’ organization as an intern in the team’s baseball operations department. Two years later, he was hired by the Red Sox as a full-time scouting assistant. Beginning in 2005, Sawdaye was promoted him to Assistant Director of Amateur Scouting, and remained in that role until the conclusion of the 2009 season.
