Ranking Mariners’ most likely free agent targets based on Jerry Dipoto’s profile
Since the Seattle Mariners are ostensibly a World Series contender, it should be fair game to have high hopes for how they'll approach this winter's free-agent market. But, alas, history and what's coming from the front office suggest otherwise.
The John Stanton-Jerry Dipoto regime has been in place for a decade now, and only twice have the Mariners broken the bank for a free agent in this span. There was Robbie Ray for five years, $115 million in 2021 and Josh Naylor for five years, $92.5 million last year. Otherwise, Dipoto's free agent shopping has largely been limited to one- and two-year deals for modest dollar amounts.
