legend Arizona sports breaking news. Oh, this must be big if we’re doing it while Todd Walsh is on the air. What’s up, Rick? All right. According to Steve Gilbert, uh, source, Dbacks manager Tory Lavell will return in 2026. There we go. Okay. Clarity right out of the gate. That was How about that? That was literally going to be my question to you was going to be you you’re talking about standing the test of time. Who Todd Walsh? Who will stand the test of time? Well, I just so you guys know, I’m gonna I should post a picture of this. I’ve been up for a few hours now trying to figure out the answer to the qu and that I knew you were going to ask me, which was just answered. I I stood a foot away from Tory Lavell yesterday when he was asked, “Do you know if you’re coming back?” I heard his answer. I asked him purposely, my last question to him on the year was, and I and I thought about this the whole game. how am I going to phrase this? What does it mean to you at this point to pull on a jersey in a major league uniform? And his eyes welled up and he said, “It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was five years old.” And at that moment in time, I’m not sure what he knew. And there are some awkward questions that have been asked in the last few days. And and and the only thing that I would say is I if you’re going to hold Tori’s feet to the fire also have to understand I think the complexity of the relationship and the and the role of a manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks the way it is structured and did Tori order that sacrifice bond Heraldo Purdomo in the biggest moment of the year or was that part of an analytical equation constructed by a group of of people. So hold them to the fire for that too whoever they are. And it’s the same thing with the Zack Allen. Does he start on the on the getaway day against the Dodgers or do you push him back if that’s is that Tori’s call or is that a a group? And that group then and that think tank I think needs to be put to the fire a bit as you move forward.

The Arizona Diamondbacks will retain manager Torey Lovullo for his 10th season after the team fell short of reaching the postseason for a second straight year, confirmed Arizona Sports’ D-backs reporter Alex Weiner.
