Longtime Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan isn’t exactly sure if a pro baseball career, which began in 1963 when he was 18 years old, is coming to an end.
Hired as a pitching consultant by then-Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers in 2013 after Duncan had finished 17 seasons with the Cardinals, Duncan maintained that position through the Tony La Russa-Dave Stewart regime in the Arizona front office.
But, with La Russa’s power seemingly having been eroded and Stewart having been fired, Duncan said he had heard nothing yet from new Arizona general manager Mike Hazen — fresh from Boston.
