With his club continuing to perform at “very average” levels, Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said Thursday morning that he’s open to selling off roster parts before the Aug. 1 MLB trade deadline.
And he said that before news broke of Jarred Kelenic’s fractured foot Thursday morning, creating a “dark cloud” over the team, as manager Scott Servais put it.
The Mariners entered Thursday with a 47-48 record and sat 10 games back of the AL West lead and 5.5 games out of wild-card contention, with four teams in front them and just 12 days to go before the trade deadline.
