Such a class guy and the best defensive shortstop I've ever seen. When you follow a team on a daily basis you grow attached to certain players, especially ones that have been on the team for a long time. No matter where Ahmed winds up, I'll always be a fan.
He’s such a good dude. It’s definitely tough to see a decision like this happen to a good person but, it had to happen for a team trying to make the playoffs. Hope we see him here as a coach some day.
Damn it. Thank you Nick for what you put in for the game of baseball
Went to high school in east Longmeadow ma with him few grads younger but you could not find one person to say a bad thing about him. Watching him in high school when I was a freshman was incredible . He was also an amazing pitcher best I have ever watched in a high school game .
Love Nick Ahmed 😌 forever will be a fan
You did your job great for 10 years! You will be so missed! Thanks for everything, Nick!
Nick even though your batting wasn't the best your defense was top tier and you will always have a place in our hearts.
Thank you Mr. Ahmed
Thanks from the Valley Nick.
We will miss you Nick ahmed you are amazing and don't let anyone tell you are not by you allways strong #13 for life
Great teammate. Great ball player. On top of all that he’s a great and respectable human being. His teammates were lucky to have all those things in the dugout throughout his career
Great ballplayer, great D-Back - and most importantly: great guy. Thanks for all your work and commitment.
Nick - I appreciate your hard work, your contributions and the way you conducted yourself with class and professionalism. I'll follow you from afar and wish you well. I hope someday you're back here as a coach.
I have to thank you too, Nick. Thanks for being a professional and giving it your all. I was entertained with all the teams you've been apart of.
Met him briefly..very polite.. unassuming..he introduced himself..wish him well
It was the right choice to move on and go with lawler but it hurts Bc he is a great person and was a good player for this team for a long time
Just checking in. Pretty sure Lawler has had like 10 at-bats and didn’t make the opening day roster. Absolutely NOT the right decision, and I could have told you that 6 months ago.
Congrats on your major league time, may it continue first as a player, then a coach. I went to your HS playoff games as lived in your home town for a while, was thrilled when you went to my home state school, UConn and helped put UConn firmly on the national baseball map. I cheered the two gold gloves, and times your bat heated up. You are a class act, Nick. Best wishes.
I always admired how you play the game.
We love you nick.
I'm gonna miss the guy. Hate to see him go the way he did. Maybe he finds his way back to the organization in some form or another. Possibly as a coach. But if not, I hope for the best for him.
Nothing but the best of luck for him
I’m going miss seeing slick nick with those crazy catches
I'm glad I was able to see him play his last game against the Rockies
Wish him the best
So bitter sweet, he was the longest tenured diamondback here and I'm sure gonna miss him but I think it had to be done. Hope he comes back in some way eventually 😔
This is really rough to see he's a great man and Teammate
I was at the game he hit his first homer in, shed a tear when I saw the news
D backs will miss u
Good guy. It was time to go but this is a tough watch nonetheless. Stinks it had to end like this.
It's so stupid that the Diamondbacks never posted a "Thank You Nick Ahmed" post
That’s on Torey
Torey says they had talks. So who do you believe me Nick Ahmed
Why did he become DFA’d ? What was the reason ?
Management effed up on this one. Best defensive shortstop ever. Feels like jealousy. I'm a longtime snakes fan. Not anymore. Fire Hazen and Lovullo. Absolutely heartless human beings.
日本へ来ないか？
So they now have Lawler. Guess what he can’t even hit .
2 years late in this
So is he DFAed or what
yep. he's gone. hopefully some other team picks him up.
He’s batting .212. 😂
Bottom line, its a results business. ANY player that is batting .212, should NOT be in the Majors. Thanks for the 10 years Nick, now go live a happy and productive life with all the millions of dollars you have made through out your career. You will be just fine.
Nick agreed with decision, that doesn't make it not hurt to have such a rapid life change
BBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEE
