The General Manager and Chief Operating Officer of the Nashville Sounds, Garry Arthur, has retired, effective immediately.
Those with the Sounds made the announcement Friday afternoon. Arthur has been overseeing day to day operations since January 2015.
“I’ve been with four teams during my lengthy career in baseball, and this experience has been the best,” said Arthur. “Frank Ward’s ownership has allowed me to have input into First Tennessee Park, which I’m immensely proud of.”
Arthur has planned to use his time in retirement spending more time with family in Vancouver.
“What we’ve built here in Nashville is very special. Along with this state-of-the-art facility, we have a staff that’s loaded with experience and always comes together when it’s important. For that, I’m thankful,” Arthur added.
“I, along with our entire staff, will miss Garry. His insight and experience have been invaluable over the past several years as we progressed through the planning and construction of First Tennessee Park, to the assembly of our current staff, and to the execution of the fan experience and daily operations at this wonderful ballpark,” said Sounds owner Frank Ward. “I cannot thank Garry enough for all that he has brought to this franchise. I wish him nothing but the best in his retirement.”
Ward has been set to take over the daily operations during the search for Arthur’s replacement.
