We could constantly hear Mariners fans bash Jerry Dipoto for trading away our “good” prospects. But in reality, the franchise didn’t really have any of them good enough to be worried about. The 3 biggest name prospect he traded were Tyler O’Neill, Luiz Gohara, and Nick Neidert. A trio of starts there right?
But since committing to a true rebuild just 8 months ago, something amazing has happened: the farm system got better. And it hasn’t gone from bad to mediocre, which would have been a nice accomplishment. It didn’t go from bad to average.
