SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - JULY 18: General manager Jerry Dipoto of the Seattle Mariners looks on during batting practice at T-Mobile Park on July 18, 2023 in Seattle, Washington. After trading closer Paul Sewald to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday in the headline deal of the trade deadline for the, the team largely stood pat as Tuesday's 3 p.m. deadline passed with just a minor deal completed for reliever Eduard Bazardo.
"Moving ahead, obviously, we have a void in our bullpen and hopefully we are deep and good enough down there to cover. I think we are. And I know with the additions of Dominic Canzone and Josh Rojas and some of the guys that move out, I do feel like we are a better club today than we were yesterday. Our club's playing well. We think they deserve the chance to keep playing well."
"Sometimes you just have to admit that you didn't do a good job of filling the roster and go and try to solve it." "There really were no bats available and our needs were on the offensive side," Dipoto said. "So we could have gone out there with a bag of money and a ton of prospects and we still couldn't have really done a whole lot outside of what we did. And we knew we were going to be threading a needle in terms of trying to make our club better now, while also building a bridge forward without tapping into our prospects in any meaningful way.
On Canzone, Dipoto said they believe his bat will be able to produce at the major league level. Canzone was batting .354 at Triple-A Reno before being called up by the Diamondbacks and had appeared in just 15 major league games before the Mariners acquired him on Monday. Dipoto said that reported interest in first baseman Ty France was not a reality until it was reported online and then a few teams inquired about his availability. Additionally, the idea of trading young starters such as Logan Gilbert or George Kirby as part of a chase for offense help never really got off the ground.
