2:57pm: USA Todays Bob Nightengale that Strom, Fetters and Carlson have been fired by the Diamondbacks. John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 that there are no other changes expected for the coaching staff and suggests the new pitching coach could be hired from outside the organization. 2:53pm: Changes are coming to the D-backs coaching staff in 2025. Pitching coach Brent Strom, Nick Lodolo Jersey bullpen coach Mike Fetters and a sistant pitching coach Dan Carlson will not return in their current roles, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com . Its not clear whether any of the three will be rea signed and hold a new position within the organization or if theyre moving on entirely. The 75-year-old Stroms run as Arizonas pitching coach will draw to a close after three seasons. The longtime Astros coach following the 2021 season and announced shortly thereafter that he would not return for a ninth season in Houston. At the time he stepped away from the Astros he noted I havent had a summer in a long time and quipped I may just go lie on a beach in Mexico. Le s than two weeks later, he was . It was a move that surprised many, given his prior comments, but Strom resides in the Tucson area and felt the fresh challenge of working with a new organization near his home was too tempting to pa s up. Time will tell whether he plans to continue coaching, but hes now spent four decades as either a major league coach (Astros, Royals, D-backs) or a minor league pitching coordinator/pitching instructor (Dodgers, Expos, Padres, Cardinals). It would certainly be understandable if he finally plans to step away from the game and enjoy retired life, though hes among the most respected pitching minds in the game and would surely have interest from other clubs in a variety of roles if the D-backs arent bringing him back in another capacity, of course. Fetters has been with the D-backs organization for more than a decade, spending time as a scout before joining the coaching staff in 2012. Hes been Arizonas bullpen coach for the past six seasons. Now 59 years old, he was a first-round pick by the Angels back in 1986 and went on to enjoy a 16-year career as a big league reliever, totaling more than 700 innings and piling up exactly 100 saves. The Diamondbacks are the only organization for which he has ever coached. Carlson, 54, pitched in parts of four big league seasons and has been the teams a sistant pitching coach for three years. Prior to that role, he was a minor league pitching coach with the D-backs and also served as the organizations minor league pitching coordinator. Pedro Borbon Jersey
