Swing and miss: Jerry Dipoto may have whiffed when Mariners traded Chris Taylor to Dodgers, but that’s baseball

The doubles make him wince, the dingers make him cringe, the OPS makes him want to slap his forehead.

Any time Chris Taylor does something to make Dodger fans go “whoa!” the man who traded him thinks “why?!”

“It’s clearly the worst deal I’ve ever made,” Mariners manager Jerry Dipoto said. “And it resonates every time he hits a home run.”
