Dave Stewart did not sound bitter or angry about being fired as Diamondbacks general manager on Monday. But he does think he did a better job the past two years than what his former bosses apparently believe.
“What I see and how I see the things that I did here are different from how Ken and Derrick see the things that I’ve done here,” Stewart said, referring to owner Ken Kendrick and CEO Derrick Hall. “That’s really what it comes down to.”
Stewart and manager Chip Hale were fired on Monday afternoon, one day after the Diamondbacks completed a disappointing 69-93 season in which they fell short of internal and external expectations.
