While Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto has been pretty consistent in stating that they need a player to build around, consistently stating Mitch Haniger as such a player, the idea that he isn’t willing to listen on any player is simply untrue.
Remember at the beginning of this off-season? Dipoto specifically named Haniger, Marco Gonzales, and Edwin Diaz as “building blocks” for the next Mariners contender. Well, a few weeks later, Diaz was headed to New York and the next face of the franchise came in the deal.
So we know Dipoto will trade anybody… so long as his price is met.
