Dipoto Confident as Mariners Prepare for 2025

The Seattle Mariners' offseason has been characterized as quiet and uneventful, with the team making only a couple of modest signings, including re-signing Jorge Polanco and adding Donovan Solano. President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto defended the lack of significant moves, expressing confidence in the team's existing roster and its potential for improvement based on the positive trends observed at the end of the previous season. Despite missing the playoffs for two consecutive years, projections indicate that the Mariners have a 57.9% chance of making the postseason in 2025, supported by a strong pitching rotation. While some fans are disappointed by the absence of high-impact acquisitions, Dipoto insists that the team is competitive and doesn't require major overhauls. He acknowledged interest from other clubs in the Mariners' pitchers but emphasized a desire to maintain their strong starting rotation. As spring training approaches, the Mariners remain open to opportunities for further additions to their roster.
