Coming off a year in which his organization had “significant losses” and was forced to cut more than a quarter of its front-office staff, Diamondbacks CEO Derrick Hall said it was “far-fetched” to expect the club to enter next season with a payroll in line with where it was this year.
Hall said the Diamondbacks tentatively are planning to go into the offseason with a number of potential financial scenarios for next year, adding that the club won’t be able to move forward until it gets a better sense for what the world might look like in 2021.
