Mariners 2020 roster tracker: Who’s in, who’s out and who’s staying in Seattle
Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said in September he doesn’t expect to be as active this offseason as he was last year.
“I know you probably take it with a grain of salt because I’m the one saying it,” Dipoto joked.
The Mariners made a few whopping deals to overhaul their farm system in 2018, acquiring top prospects like outfielder Jarred Kelenic and starters Justin Dunn and Justus Sheffield. While the heavy lifting seems to be done, and Seattle’s up-and-comers have already shown significant progress, Dipoto will surely continue to tinker as the Mariners aim to make a run at the playoffs by 2021.
This page will be updated as the Mariners make roster moves this offseason to let you know who’s in, who’s out and who’s staying in Seattle.
