Dipoto made a pair of deadline moves, one was a salary dump, the other was a token to address this season. I think it was pretty much a white flag. This years team is on its own. Roll it back in the garage over the off season
It was a salary dump but we got a fantastic prospect out of hit so unlike the Geno and JK salary dump trades we got a significant non financial return.

Yeah, i don't know about fantastic but they at least got some depth. It was an okay trade. I don't know if its fair to say Dipoto ran up a white flag. It was more leaving the season up to the current players. Which is what ive felt anyway.

He should have just promoted Arroyo and traded for a high leverage reliever but he is a dumb fuck.

Are you seriously calling Catcher that can play in the OF with a 1.300 OPS in AA depth??? If he was promoted to MLB tomorrow he would MASSIVELY outperform Cal.

Yup...I am saying thats the most likely outcome. You are free to dream of him out performing Cal. Really the guy he would need to out perform is Stevenson. Are you rating Smith higher than Stevenson at this point?

I would actually have some respect for DiPoto if he publicly ripped the players. He should say look at you, you were favored to not only win the AL West but also the AL yet here you are playing like a bunch of monkeys trying to hump a baseball. Seriously, DO IT.

Castillo was the glue? He had like a 5.00 ERA.

It was a great trade. Even if they got nothing but salary relief.

The problem is the rest of the team is still a bunch of average players.

Dipoto looked at a team that's pretty much on the bubble, then added more average players to the mix.

He did nothing to actually improve. He replaced Jorge Polanco with Brendan Donovan? Uhh, way to go..

Just has no idea how to build an offense, especially when they need to get better.

I wouldn't be surprised if this happens to some Mariner fan after watching this team this season:
