If the rotation remains healthy, Dipoto believes the Mariners have built-in help thanks to what he called the “under the radar importance” of veterans Robbie Ray, Marco Gonzales and Chris Flexen.

“These guys can go out there and churn innings,” he said. “You are going to throw about 1,450 innings, and when you can get a Ray, Gonzales or Flexen who can go and take out 185 innings to 200 of those innings
I guess Flex and Marco won't get traded because they need to give us 200 innings...
Flexen isn’t the only Mariners arm who’s drawn interest; Dipoto told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic that his team is “getting hit constantly, up and down, with our bullpen, our starters.” However, Dipoto also stressed that he doesn’t plan to subtract from his bullpen via trade, but rather hopes to further augment an already strong relief corps
That's dated November 11, 2022. The Swanson trade was the 16th

. Crawford, who has played more games at shortstop than all but Dansby Swanson and Trea Turner over the past three seasons.
Is that true?
145 games in 2022 which ranks 13th but I am sure he is still tired from playing too many games in 2020 when he played 53 so that is somehow relevant to the argument the needs more days off in 2023.

But the 145 games played wasn't a function of having intentional days of rest was it, there were injuries. How many actual days off did he have?

True, and he had the suspension but he still got those games off.

And why was he worse in the season that he played 145 games than in 2021 when he had his best season and played 160 games?

Heading into this season, Dipoto told Goldsmith and Huard that a focus is finding “intentional days of rest” for shortstop J.P. Crawford.
Without knowing how many intentional days of rest he had last season I can't see speaking to if it was too many.

They are talking once a week this season (~26 for the season) which is fine. Moore is by FAR the better option vs. LHPs. .796 OPS vs. .662

Were are they talking that? What the article seems to be talking about is platooning him to a certain extent, if you want to get Moore at bats, why not.
.Feeling confident in Dylan Moore’s ability to fill in at shortstop and the abundance of good left-handed starting pitching in the division aids in the decision making, as does what Dipoto sees as the possible returns in getting Crawford days off his feet.

“There’s going to be great opportunity to give J.P. a day to just take a breath and stay strong throughout the season, and hopefully that allows us over the course of what we hope is 180 games to play deep. That is one of the positions where we feel we can make the most progress is helping J.P. take that next step.”

Its the blaming his bad year last season on him wearing down after he had a good year in 2021 playing 160 and a bad year playing 145. Just so sick of him pulling whatever nonsense out of his ass that is convenient at the time and most eat it up like he is some baseball savant. He is a greasy MFer imo. Guessing Seager and Felix and many others close to him would agree.

Which really has nothing to do with anything. You're getting what you want, isn't platooning him with Moore a good idea? He feels the need to present it as more rest for JP, so what exactly? To me that could be playing clubhouse politics better than he did with Seager or Felix, maybe he learned something
