Now the regular season is over there are two NL West teams that are already changing course after a disappointing 2016 season.
Walt Weiss has resigned as manager of the Colorado Rockies after four seasons. During his tenure, the Rockies did not have a winning season going 283-365. To be fair, the Rockies haven't had a winning season since 2010. But Weiss' relationship with GM Jeff Bridich was strained. Bridich, who took over as Rockies' GM in 2014, wants his own man.
The Arizona Diamondbacks took it a step further firing both manager Chip Hale and GM Dave Stewart. Hale was only at the helm of the D'Backs for two seasons and had a record of 148-176. But the dismissal of Stewart is even more telling. The D'Backs went all in on Zack Greinke and Shelby Miller and they disappointed and their offense couldn't make up for it. At this point, Tony LaRussa has been spared, but that could change.
This is only the beginning of the changes in Denver and Phoenix this off-season.
