Jerry Dipoto made known that the Mariners
are going after contact hitters either by
trade or free agent signings or both.
I would call that controlling the zone.
I know Dipoto knew that before the season
ended however the success of the Texas
Rangers winning the World Series added
the stamp to it.
One thing we should know is the rebuilding
of the Mariners is over and it is adding pieces
to the puzzle. The Mariners need to make
the playoffs in 2024 or there is a likely change
at the top. They were only two games out of
the playoffs in 2023. Had they played in
September like they did in. August win wise
anyway they would have been in the playoffs.
Outside of JP Crawford many of the position
players went back to bad habits in September.
The pitching was not as good either. One example
was George Kirby who struggled a couple times
after being sick. Another Luis Castillo who didn't
pitch well in his last outing that would have helped
the Mariners get in.
Now the Mariners now go after where they can fix
what was broken and improve what wasn't. Let's
see what happens over the next month or so. Go M's.
