In comparison to previous offseasons in which Jerry Dipoto was ostensibly trying to build a winner (2016, 2017, 2018), things have been comparatively quiet this offseason as we head into a season where the team needs to show improvement on the field. There was no blockbuster deal on day before Thanksgiving (or day of). No splashy position players have been signed or traded for yet. No international players have been wooed to join us in Seattle. No, Jerry said he was going to sign some relievers, and by gum, that’s exactly what he has done. Is this a new era of truthiness for Jerry Dipoto?
