After the Diamondbacks magical postseason run ended up dying in Game 5 of the World Series, GM Mike Hazen gave some insights on his goals this offseason.
For starters, Hazen acknowledged that the “goalposts have moved” for the Arizona Diamondbacks, as this unexpected October success has made it clear his bullclup is not too far away from winning a ring.
One of the main reasons why the D-backs hopes ultimately came short was their lack of starting pitching.
This became evident in Game 4 when Arizona had to go to the bullpen for an entire game since, after all, they did not even have a real 4th pitcher in their rotation.
