Jerry Dipoto never takes a break, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
The Seattle Mariners general manager completed a deal with the Chicago White Sox on Friday afternoon, acquiring 26-year-old catcher Omar Narvaez in exchange for right-handed reliever Alex Colome, who led the American League in saves two years ago.
“Omar has quietly developed into one of the tougher outs among catchers in MLB,” Dipoto said in a press release. “His contact and on-base skills are welcome additions to our lineup. The fact that he is also under club control through 2022 made him a great fit for our club.
