The Arizona Diamondbacks are keeping Torey Lovullo in the dugout, with the club agreeing to a new contract that will bring him back for an 11th season as manager, according to a source cited by ESPN.
Lovullo took over the Diamondbacks in 2017 and has since become the most successful manager in franchise history, surpassing previous tenures in both longevity and win totals over his decade at the helm. His new deal removes uncertainty around the team's leadership heading into the offseason.
Details of the contract's length and financial terms were not immediately disclosed. The agreement comes as Arizona looks to build on recent seasons and continue developing a roster that has been competitive in the National League.
Lovullo has guided the Diamondbacks through multiple rebuilding phases and a deep playoff run in recent years, and the front office's decision to extend him signals continuity in the organization's long-term planning.
Further details on the new contract, including its duration, are expected to be confirmed by the team in the coming days.
