One thing you can guarantee about the Seattle Mariners and their GM Jerry Dipoto is that they are going to make trades and be active in player acquisition. Even in a “slow” off-season, Dipoto had a busier than average winter.
We don’t know how this delay will impact their plans going forward, but we do know that the rebuild is still in the middle stages. One of the pillars of the middle stage is to find out who and who won’t be apart of the next championship team.
The 2020 season was supposed to be about finding answers to that question.
