Seattle Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto believes the four additions made ahead of the trade deadline have made the team better for their push for the AL West title.
The Seattle Mariners made four additions to their roster over the last week via trades ahead of Tuesday's 3 p.m. trade deadline. Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto believes those moves have made the team better for their push for the AL West title."I'm very proud of our group," Dipoto said Tuesday afternoon. "I think we did a nice job collectively of identifying the way this market was starting to head.
The guys that were perhaps available were available for a microsecond. "I'm not sure that it ever felt like those were realistic targets for us."Players of that caliber would have required a heavy package of prospects to wrestle free from their respective teams. However, no prospects ranked by Baseball America in the top 100 across all of Major League Baseball were part of deadline deals as standout pieces didn't seem to be really available."The last part shocks me.
