For Jerry Dipoto, a quiet offseason still means adding a new center fielder and first baseman

General manager Jerry Dipoto’s seemingly never-ending stream of roster moves dwindled. He made three, not 13, significant moves this offseason, bringing in three players who are expected to be major contributors.

PEORIA, Ariz. — In the first two seasons under general manager Jerry Dipoto, the Mariners’ offseason roster churn brought in enough new players and faces that the 40-man roster resembled a singles mixer.

But with a good portion of his own players in place going into 2018, Dipoto’s seemingly never-ending stream of roster moves dwindled.

There wasn’t a great need.

Of course, that didn’t stop him from making at least a few moves to supplement his 25-man roster.
