The other day, GM Jerry Dipoto, made it clear that his offensive pursuits are finished for this off-season. He didn’t wait very long to switch gears to building up his pool of pitchers.
In another Dipoto evening deal, the Mariners sent the baseball world abuzz with their two-for-one one exchange of top prospects. The Mariners are shipping outfielder, Alex Jackson -who was their top prospect to start 2016- to the Atlanta Braves for a potential fifth starter in Robert Whalen and the lean, mean, green bean machine (and another potential fifth starter) in Max Povse.
