If you’re looking for a significant free-agency signing or block-buster deal from Mike Hazen, the general manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, from the recently concluded winter meetings, such excitement did not occur.
First displayed in the GM meetings last month in Scottsdale and through the conversations this week in suburban Washington, Hazen told reporters he is no hurry to make rash decisions. More important, Hazen has been in his current job for about two months, and still making the rounds.
Hazen likes to use the word “process,” and his attempt to build the Diamondbacks to a National League West Division contender, remains a process.
