The 2020 MLB season is over. The Dodgers finally won the title that had proven so elusive for them in their recent chain of postseason appearances as they defeated the Rays in 6 games. Justin Turner tested positive for COVID-19 and no one stopped him from celebrating mask-less with the team on the field. It was all very muted and weird and extremely 2020.
But! That means it is now the offseason, the time when famously active general managers like Jerry Dipoto get to shine. With the Mariners poised to, well, actually try to field a winning team for a few consecutive seasons starting in 2021 as many of the homegrown and otherwise young talents begin to peak, this offseason could prove to be an exciting one if the team makes some signings and trades to address the problem areas of the 2020 roster.
