Seattle Mariners President & Chief Executive Officer Kevin Mather today announced that the team and Executive Vice President & General Manager Jerry Dipoto have agreed on a multi-year extension of Dipoto’s contract.
Dipoto is in his third full season with the Mariners after he was originally hired on Sept. 28, 2015. He is the ninth full-time General Manager in Mariners history.
“Jerry arrived here two-and-a-half years ago with a specific plan for our franchise,” Mather said. “He has successfully executed that plan, resulting in a younger, more athletic and, most importantly, far more successful Major League team.
