Fans Upset Over Ken Kendrick’s Remarks on Diamondbacks’ Future

Fresh off a trip to the World Series, Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick stirred controversy with his recent remarks regarding the team’s potential relocation.

Kendrick’s comments were prompted by the lack of progress in securing a new stadium deal, as the current agreement with Chase Field is slated to expire at the end of the 2027 season.

Addressing the widespread interest from cities vying for an MLB team, whether new or existing, Kendrick’s statement resonated strongly: “There are opportunities available … It’s not where we are spending time or energy. We may run out of time in Phoenix.
