Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio stops by for his final visit of the season. They dive right into the Mariners failures this season and dissected what went wrong and how they could possibly fix it.
Jim didn’t like the decision for Jerry Dipoto not to do an official end of the year press conference and agreed that John Stanton, the owner should have been present to answer specific questions like why he decided to bring Dipoto and general manager Justin Hollander back for another season.
Despite Dipoto saying his outfield is set, Puck and Duquette wonder if they will still try and move Randy Arozarena in the offseason. Duquette is convinced that they will shot Luis Castillo. The move would free up $72 million and bring some young talent back.
Dipoto claims that they will not have any financial restraints, but they owe a lot of money in arbitration to a number of players and that won’t leave them a lot once they are finished with those players.
