If Mike Hazen, general manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks stays true to his word, do not expect movement soon on a principal priority.
That would be improving the bullpen, and directly to the point, the need to upgrade the back end of the bullpen.
The Diamondbacks closed the 2016 season with only one of three relievers designated to hold, protect and save leads last season. By late July, then-general manager Dave Stewart traded closer Brad Ziegler to Boston and seventh inning specialist Tyler Clippard was dealt to the New York Yankees.
