This is especially true when Jerry Dipoto is the general manager of your team. In fact, Dipoto has made 5 trades since the Mariners Opening Day win in Japan and many more should be expected. In fact, with the hard deadline of July 31, teams could be more aggressive than ever, so the trade market could start heating up sooner than ever.
Seattle will almost assuredly be sellers this June and July. While Dipoto may look to add controllable MLB pieces, he will still be shipping off veterans who land him a package he likes. Unless, of course, the Mariners are in a position to make the playoffs in July, which seems unlikely.
