Now that Jerry Dipoto returns home to Seattle after being in the hospital and the winter meetings we could see some more moves for the Mariners.
There is a possibility the Mariners could trade Edwin Encarnacion or Jay Bruce or both. A lot will depend on what other teams want to give in young players and other veterans.
The Mariners are still shopping for a veteran shortstop along with some pitching whether starters or relief pitchers. They could sign either one in free agency when the prices go down during January. At least one starter would be nice and they need to go after a few relief pitchers. Also, the Mariners will probably sign another catcher to compete for the backup catcher.
Next week at least one move will probably be made if not several. Dipoto will need to rest this weekend over getting out of the hospital but he may not either.
In other local news, the UW Huskies go to New Jersey to take on #15 ranked Virginia Tech Hokies today Saturday. This will be another big game for the Huskies to get ready for Pac-12 schedule starting on January 5 at home against the Washington State Cougars. Between the Hokies and the Cougars, the Huskies will play Sacremento State on Dec 21 then take a holiday break then take on California State University Fullerton on New Year's night. Those games will be at home for the Huskies too.
Seattle Seahawks will be playing Sunday night Dec 16 on the road at Santa Clara to take on the 49ers for the second time in three weeks. The Seahawks can clinch a playoff spot if they win.
