It should be no surprise that Dipoto is drastically shaking up the roster again. In his first year, he made a multitude of moves that completely transformed the M’s organization into a viable playoff contender.
Having filled most of the holes in the lineup on both sides of the ball, Dipoto has still needed to sure up his bullpen with enough left-handed men. A two-year deal that is now finalized will help with just that.
Before any new players were brought on to the Mariners in early November, the M’s twenty-five man roster was losing their southpaws left, and well, left.
