TUCSON - Diamondbacks General Manager Josh Byrnes and President Derrick Hall
are being rewarded with contract extensions, each receiving an eight-year deal
that will run through 2015.
The contracts are expected to be announced today, the first day of full-squad
workouts in Tucson.
Byrnes' deal replaces the contract he signed when he was hired in October 2005
to replace the organization's original general manager, Joe Garagiola Jr.
Hall, who joined the club in May 2005 as senior vice president of
communications and replaced Rich Dozer as president after the 2006
season, had been working without a contract.
Byrnes assembled a team that advanced to the National League Championship
Series in his second season on the job.
He has aggressively ushered in a new core of young players, in the process
parting ways with veteran outfielder Luis Gonzalez, locking up ace Brandon
Webb with a contract that runs through 2010 and this off-season acquiring
another frontline starting pitcher in Dan Haren in a trade with Oakland.
Byrnes' original contract was a four-year deal through 2009 with a club option
for 2010.
Hall brought a public-relations background into his role as president,
becoming a visible and accessible figure in the community and a liaison
to fans.
Hall was brought aboard by Chief Executive Officer Jeff Moorad, whom he knew
from his days working in communications for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
