Extra:

​

He appeared to be in line for the manager position with the New York Yankees to start the 2018 season; however Aaron Boone was given the position over him, at which point he left the organization.

 

He ordered the Diamondbacks pitching staff to intentionally walk Barry Bonds throughout an entire 3-game series against the San Francisco Giants. Bonds was on the verge of hitting his 700th career home run and Pedrique did not want to happen at Bank One Ballpark. The move was high criticized in the media.

 

2007 - He signed Jose Altuve for the Houston Astros ($15,000 signing bonus).

His family lives in Tucson, Arizona.
