History

Historical Context

When MLB added the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1998, the franchise paid a $130 million expansion fee and finished 65-97, drafting 30th in the 1996 and 1997 drafts to build a farm system that soon produced Randy Johnson and a 2001 World Series title. Promoting Triple-A standout Tommy Troy in 2024 reflects the same home-grown focus.
