Jerry Dipoto doubled down on his vision for the team and their ongoing rebuild of the organization moving forward despite a September swoon that left the Seattle Mariners home for the postseason.
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - MARCH 30: General Manager Jerry Dipoto speaks with manager Scott Servais #9 of the Seattle Mariners during Opening Day at T-Mobile Park on March 30, 2023 in Seattle, Washington. are disappointed they missed the playoffs. They're disappointed that a September swoon left them one game out of the AL Wild Card and two games out in the race for the AL West crown.
"The one thing I will say that is different about this team than any other team that we've done this with and we've all done together here for a number of years, there are fewer holes to fill," Dipoto said. "You know, we have far more answers to the question when does the championship come, than questions. We'll ask ourselves those questions heading into this year and answer them to the best of our ability.
"We’ve got to commit to winning," Raleigh said. "We have to commit to going and getting those players you see other teams going out, going for and getting big-time pitchers, getting big-time hitters. We have to do that to keep up. I think we’ve done a great job of growing some players here within the farm system, but sometimes you have to go out and you have to buy. That’s just the name of the game. We’ll see what happens this offseason.
The comments from Raleigh reflect the relative lack of moves and the money spent on such moves from last offseason by the team. Those hopes fell short with the 6-1 loss to Texas on Saturday being the final blow to the team's chances of returning to the playoffs. Dipoto contends that a singular focus on the goal of a World Series could lead a team astray by making reckless decisions that implode spectacularly.
