NEW YORK – Diamondbacks General Manager Mike Hazen offered only a boilerplate answer to questions about his job status and his potential interest in returning to work for the Boston Red Sox, who fired top executive Dave Dombrowski earlier this week.
“My focus is 100 percent on the Arizona Diamondbacks,” Hazen said, “and that’s where it’s going to remain.”
Though his name has been connected to the Red Sox in a variety of speculative reports this week, Hazen would not comment beyond that, choosing not to, say, emphatically state he had no interest in the job.
