Some like to refer as the spin cycle, but for Mike Hazen, the new general manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, this could look like a case of recycling old friends.
Several names are rumored to be the next manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and they appear to jump right out of Hazen’s little black book.
Recycled? Perhaps. How about Hazen’s ability to network? Probably a better answer.
The one with the highest graded on the rumor poll is Torey Lovullo, the current Red Sox bench coach and close confidant of Hazen. Another ally mentioned is Alex Cora, who spent 14 years as a utility infielder for six teams, including four seasons with the Red Sox.
