Melvin Out as Diamondbacks Manager

Written by PHXMLB, on May 7th, 2009 at 5:19pm

The Arizona Diamondbacks (12-17) have decided to fire Manager Bob Melvin, according to a report aired on KTAR 620. A replacement will be announced prior to Friday night's series opener versus the Washington Nationals.

We at Diamondbacks Nation grimly approve the move. With their record now five games under .500, the Snakes are performing well below the level of their talent. Nearly three weeks ago, we made the argument that this season's struggles are merely an extension of the slide that began a full year ago.

Check back later for more details on the ouster, the new manager, and what will come next for the Diamondbacks franchise.
