Mariners, MLB, Sports Seattle

The Seattle Mariners have been one of the most active teams in the MLB over the past few years, making a number of big trades and signings. However, it appears that the team is unlikely to make any major moves ahead of the trade deadline.

Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto recently indicated that the team is unlikely to make any big moves before the July 31st deadline. Dipoto said that the team has been exploring potential trades, but that they are not likely to pull the trigger on any major deals. He added that the team is still looking to improve, but that they are more likely to do so through smaller moves.

The Mariners have been in a bit of a rebuilding mode this season, as they have struggled to stay competitive in the American League West. They currently sit at the bottom of the division with a record of 37-54. Despite this, Dipoto believes that the team is still capable of making a run at the playoffs if they can make some improvements before the deadline.

It appears that the Mariners are content to stand pat and make smaller moves ahead of the deadline. This could be a wise move, as big trades can often backfire and leave teams worse off than before. The Mariners will need to make some improvements if they want to make a run at the playoffs, but it appears that they will be doing so without making any major trades.
