Yesterday Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported that the Dbacks had offered Dave Stewart their GM job. It looks like it’s all signed and sealed now:

They are also getting a well-respected Dodgers assistant in the deal:
The #Dbacks have struck gold, not only getting Dave Stewart as their GM, but DeJon Watson of #Dodgers in a key, high-ranking role.

No word on whether Watson was hired because is familiar with the Dodgers’ strategies for attacking the pool at Chase Field, now enabling the Dbacks to better defend it.
