Luis Gonzalez along with D-backs' Managing General Partner Ken Kendrick and President and CEO Derrick Hall have announced that the former D-backs player has declared his retirement from baseball and officially rejoins the organization as Special Assistant to the President and CEO.

Gonzalez will assist Hall and other departments throughout the baseball and business sides of the organization in his new role as Special Assistant to the President and CEO. The team will also honor Gonzalez prior to Saturday's 5:10 p.m. MST game against the Houston Astros as part of 'Luis Gonzalez Appreciation Night' at Chase Field.


It is great to have Gonzo come back home. He is definately a fav for the fans of the DBacks. Now we just need to find a job for Fins since we have Jay Bell, Matty Williams, Mark Grace, and now Gonzo!
