Morning Meltdown – Arizona Diamondbacks Edition

For this Morning Meltdown let’s take a look into some of the buzz surrounding the Arizona Diamondbacks, retaining Kirk Gibson and a look at a recap of last night’s game.

Other League reported today that the Diamondbacks are currently planning to bring back Kirk Gibson, after the hiring of new MLB Commissioner.

"“The team went as far to hire Tony La Russa to oversee the front office and baseball operations, which only seemed to make drastic changes seem more likely. It appears that may not be the case though, as there are now reports that Gibson’s services will be retained for next year.This does seem to be an odd move, especially considering the struggles the team has faced recently. The details of Gibson’s current contract have not been disclosed, but he was extended before this season.“"
