Jeff Moorad Quotations

We made a new proposal, but I'm not comfortable making any further comment at this time,

I don't foresee any reason for daily updates on Luis Gonzalez. At this point, he's our left fielder and obviously a terrific part of our organization's history and, presumably, a part of its future.

Getting Tony under contract to remain a Diamondback has been on the front burner for several weeks.

He's great to be around, and honest as the day is long.

We're open-minded about the profile. The group that we've identified tends to be a younger group, but also a group that has significant experience.

Having now taken a step forward, we're anxious to take the next step, ... Our ownership group and this organization will not be content until we're back on top of the NL West.

He's always a little streaky, but thankfully he's in a real good streak right now and I have the sense that that will continue for the rest of the season,

I think there's a spirit in that clubhouse that, hopefully, one by one, our fans our going to pick up on as well. I think our fans are going to be proud of this team and that's probably as important as anything in the long run.

We intend to proceed privately and with a goal of concluding the process sometime around the end of October.

We're very pleased with our relationship in Tucson,

We have a terrific foundation and we play in a growing market with a strong fan base,

We are not holding out great hope Mo will play again, but we stop short of announcing he is retiring. It may ultimately be that.

We'll sit down with him and determine his thoughts about his future, and obviously we'll share ours with him,

extremely bright, with high character and high integrity.

We're thrilled to have him in a Diamondbacks uniform. We think he's going to have a terrific future, and we're very excited about it.

Bob Gebhard is our general manager at the moment, and we also realize that even if we keep Bob on in that capacity, we still will need to go through a formal hiring process under MLB guidelines.

Discussions with Justin Upton are continuing. We have been informed that Justin did not attend classes and instead will continue focusing on his discussions with the Diamondbacks. We have submitted a final proposal and hope to come to a resolution soon.

The timing is no accident. We feel like we'll have our general manager of the future in place at that point.

It's fair to say we're in the 11th hour, ... As the clock gets ready to strike midnight, we figured we certainly wanted to sit down one last time and see if there was a deal to be made.

It's a lot of money, it's a lot of responsibility. It's certainly a lot of responsibility to lead our staff, but we feel Brandon Webb is not only up to the task, but that he's earned the right to be here today in the capacity he's in.

It's a pragmatic approach that more and more real-life teams are taking.

I'm going to play him. I don't know where, but I'm going to play him.

I'm not sure what Tim's plans are at this point, but we would be interested in talking to him about coming back,

He's tough, stubborn, and one of the most likeable guys I've ever dealt with,
