Monday, October 3, 2016: it was eight days after his second anniversary on the job, that the announcement was made: Arizona Diamondbacks General Manager Dave Stewart had been fired by the team. That was about half the time lasted by the man who preceded him in the position, Kevin Towers, and so Stewart easily replaced Towers as the shortest-tenured GM in team history (discounting interim men Bob Gebhard and Jerry DiPoto). Indeed, every permanent General Manager in Diamondbacks history, has lasted less time than the one before; they apparently don’t get job security, they have a half-life.
