Matt Williams is happy to be back with the Diamondbacks.
The 2001 World Series champion and former Nationals manager was bought in as the team’s third base coach in November. On Friday, he praised the organization, specifically Chief Baseball Officer Tony La Russa.
“This place is special,” Williams told Arizonasports.com of the Diamondbacks organization. “You can walk upstairs and you have World Series champions, a manager [Tony La Russa] who is the chief officer of baseball that has won the World Series and has been there and done it and you can pick brains and that’s a lot of fun.
