Mariners notebook: McClendon and Dipoto have a good first meeting
Lloyd McClendon and Jerry Dipoto had their first conversation as manager and general manager of the Mariners Monday morning. The two had crossed paths before but this conversation obviously was different.
"It was great," McClendon said. "He's very energetic, intelligent, dynamic, forward thinking guy. I thought we hit it off pretty good. We had very honest discussions about a lot of things and it went very well."
McClendon would not talk about what was discussed in regard to the club but the dialogue has begun. It's too soon to say if they share the same philosophies in the game but according to McClendon there is no doubt they have the same end goal in mind.
