In comparison to previous offseasons in which Jerry Dipoto was ostensibly trying to build a winner (2016, 2017, 2018), things have been comparatively quiet this offseason as we head into a season where the team needs to show improvement on the field. There was no blockbuster deal on day before Thanksgiving (or day of). No splashy position players have been signed or traded for yet. No international players have been wooed to join us in Seattle. No, Jerry said he was going to sign some relievers, and by gum, thats exactly what he has done. Is this a new era of truthiness for Jerry Dipoto? Only time will tell, readers.<\/p>\n
So while we wait for something surprising to happen, or get further lulled into a false sense of security, lets do a progress report of sorts. Obviously it is still quite early and plenty more could happen between now and mid-February, but for the sake of discussion, lets roll with what weve got so far.<\/p>\n
To the polls!<\/p>\n
Thats all I got! Sound off in the comments if I missed any options you were looking for or if you have any further offseason stragetic thoughts. Lets hear it!<\/p>\n
