Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo wants ‘to be wanted’ with future up in air after playoff miss

Following a heartbreaking end to the regular season, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo admitted his status with the ballclub remains uncertain as he enters the offseason on a one-year deal. The Diamondbacks fell just short of a playoff spot after dropping a pair of weekend contests to San Diego, finishing the year with an 86-76 record and missing the postseason for the eighth time across nine seasons.

Lovullo expressed that while he deeply loves the organization and wishes to secure a championship in Arizona, he ultimately desires to feel wanted regarding his future leadership role. The dramatic finale unfolded as Arizona watched Philadelphia secure the final National League wild-card berth on the stadium scoreboard before dropping their own final matchup.
