The Seattle Mariners went into this offseason with a clear plan working as a small part of the major plan that General Manager Jerry Dipoto has created for the team starting in 2018. The biggest part of this offseasons plan was to add bullpen help which Dipoto has accomplished.
Dipoto said, “I’d like to add three or four guys (to the bullpen) that can stabilize the group and give us some certainty as we move toward the end of a game.
