    51 percent of the Arizona Coyotes franchise sold to Andrew Barroway

    Exactly. The term sale was a tad misleading. This wasn't a "we're gone" sale. It's actually adding to the long term stability of the franchise.

    2014 Off Season Thread

    The winds of change are blowing in Arizona. Gone ate Kevin Towers and Kirk Gibson, replaced by Dave Stewart and a manager to be announced. Tony LaRussa's finger prints are now firmly on the organization. What moves do they make in the off season to improve the on field product? Chat away...

    Ron Gardenhire

    Just fired by Minnesota and is being linked to the Diamondbacks opening. Who favors the idea of hiring Gardenhire to replace Gibson?

    DBacks close to naming Stewart GM

    I would favor this. LaRussa, Watson and Stewart each could bring an element that would benefit the team long term. LaRussa would set the system. Watson would be in charge of finding the talent for the long term and Stewart the monetary issues. While Stewart may be the GM by name, I think...

    Dbacks closing in on worst record in league.

    Agree. What's a few extra wins mean really? Bragging rights? I'd rather see them wind up with the top pick and have their choice of who to pick in a talent heavy draft.

    Who do you want to see Arizona draft

    With it looking as though Arizona is going to wind up with a top 3 pick, they are going to have their pick of some legit talent. What avenue do they travel? Do they go after Aiken or Matuella and go with the hopes that they soon could have a rotation full of potential aces with either joining...

    What do you think most needs done to fix the Diamondbacks next season?

    I agree with all you're saying

    What do you think most needs done to fix the Diamondbacks next season?

    I may be on my own but I'd like Lamb to get a crack at the 3B job next season. I also wouldn't object to them making moves at either Allen Craig, who the Sox reportedly may move, or Scott Van Slyke. I do agree there is some work to be done.

    UFC coming to Phoenix December 13

    With this market as rich in the Mixed Martial Arts scene, the UFC making an appearance here is long overdue. On December 13, it will happen as the promotion makes it's debut in the city. So far, two fights have been made official for the event: Jamie Varner (a Valley native who wrestled at...

    What do you think most needs done to fix the Diamondbacks next season?

    Obviously, Kevin Towers is gone and a new general manager will be taking over; under the watchful eye of Tony LaRussa. What moves do you think the Diamondbacks should make or will make in order to make steps in the right direction?

    ASU New Coach - Todd Graham from Pitt

    Hindsight is 20-20, however I don't think anyone still thinks Jones would have been better now.

    ASU New Coach - Todd Graham from Pitt

    This. He's also completely overhauled the locker room and made many changes in the program; including a heavy push for renovations to SDS that are currently being worked on; which lead me to believe he's here for the long run. The program in many ways is night and day from the Erickson years. I...

    10 candidates for GM vacany named

    I am fond of the Cardinal way of operation. This organization let a player widely regarded as tje best player in baseball at the time walk and were no worse off.. The very next season, they let Loshe walk on the heels of a Cy Young quality season and went to the World Series. This past...

    10 candidates for GM vacany named

    Beinfest was the GM for the Marlins from 2002-2013. Was badly hamstrung with the worst owner in baseball as his boss. His results of prospects and trades were a mixed bag of results. The Blue Jay salary dump has worked in their favor. Beckett for Hanley and Sanchez was good. Drafting Giancarlo...
