The 2016 Diamondbacks were the most disappointing team in Major League Baseball. Yes, even more so than the Twins. While both of those teams were expected to be far better than they were, the Twins had plenty of problems. The Diamondbacks looked good on paper, and were frequently picked to win the Wild Card (a few “experts” even picked them to win the division, which was probably the second-worst pick of 2016.)
As a result of the underperformance, Mike Hazen has taken over the front office and is tasked with fielding a competitive team and rebuilding what is currently one of baseball’s worst farm systems.
