Lovullo guided the Diamondbacks to a stunning
World Series appearance. Arizona lost in five games to the Texas
Rangers.
After going 84-78 in the regular season, the Diamondbacks
defeated the Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Dodgers and
Philadelphia Phillies in the National League playoffs.
Arizona management previously extended Lovullo's contract
through 2024 in early June when the club was off to a 35-24
start.
Lovullo, 58, has a 495-537 record in seven seasons with the
Diamondbacks. Nobody has managed the team longer than Lovullo.
Lovullo was NL Manager of the Year in 2017 when he guided
Arizona to the playoffs in his first season.
Lovullo also survived a porous 52-110 record in 2021.
The Diamondbacks figure to be in contention for playoff spots in
upcoming seasons due to a core that includes probable Rookie of
the Year Corbin Carroll, NL Championship Series MVP infielder
Ketel Marte, breakout catcher Gabriel Moreno and ace pitcher Zac
Gallen.
