While most of the big names are gone, the Mariners were never really interested in going that route anyway. In fact, when you look at their 3 MLB free-agent contracts they gave out this winter, they only spent about $3.5 million in total.
But GM Jerry Dipoto warned us all that it was going to be a quiet off-season and thus far, he has been right. But late last week, Dipoto also told fans that he anticipated signing another starter and bullpen arm in the early this week. He also added that the team may add a veteran outfielder as well, but didn’t view it as a necessity as the team believes Mitch Haniger will not miss much time in April.
