The Boston Red Sox have not yet requested permission to interview Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen as part of their search for a new top baseball executive.
Arizona team president Derrick Hall told reporters as much this week. He added that he hopes the Red Sox do not make that request since the Diamondbacks value Hazen, who he\'d be open to signing to a contract extension.
\"I can\'t envision us going a different direction with what he\'s built and his (front office) team, too,\" Hall said. \"I\'m more than willing to have conversations with him at any point.\"
