Diamondbacks fire Dave Stewart; Marlins let Barry Bonds go

The Diamondbacks have parted ways with general manager Dave Stewart and manager Chip Hale after a second consecutive losing season.

The team announced in a release Monday that it will discuss an appropriate role for Chief Baseball Officer Tony La Russa in the future.

“We are very grateful to Dave and Chip who are widely respected throughout the game of baseball,” Diamondbacks managing general partner Ken Kendrick said in a statement. “Ultimately, the results have not been what we had hoped and while that responsibility is shared by all of us, we have decided that a change is necessary.
