Blake MurphyHOST
Yeah.
Blake MurphyHOST
You can't fall into what I guess we could call the Jerry Dipoto trap, where in the AL West with less payroll flexibility than Toronto, Seattle can say, "Well, if we win 54% of our games-
Jonah BierenbaumGUEST
Yeah
Blake MurphyHOST
... we are gonna make the playoffs sometimes, and then anything could happen." And, um, you know, that, that's, I'm paraphrasing the Dipoto quote, but it, that is the spirit of a lot of smaller market teams.
Colby PatnodeHOST
Look, right now we don't have room for Emerson Hancock if he was healthy.
Colby PatnodeHOST
Uh, s- and we know that Jerry Dipoto's already gone on record in saying like, "Yeah, we expect Ryan Sloan to compete for a rotation spot for opening day next year in spring camp." And, and by the way, the way the lockout works, Ryan Sloan could be well into his season, uh-
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
Yeah
Colby PatnodeHOST
... before the Mariners even start.
7 MINS LATER
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
Does your opinion on trading Munoz change depending on who's running the show?
Colby PatnodeHOST
Oh, my opinion on trading everybody changes depending on who's running the show.
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
'Cause for me, it especially changes on Munoz if Jerry Dipoto and Justin-
Colby PatnodeHOST
Yes
Brady FarkasHOST
I believe that this ownership group forces you to work on a budget and forces you to be creative.
Brady FarkasHOST
And I believe that Jerry DiPoto is nothing if not creative.
Brady FarkasHOST
And he is a guy who can work within this structure.
Brady FarkasHOST
Also, I fear...
Brady FarkasHOST
But somebody from the outside could absolutely come in and blow the whole thing up.
Brady FarkasHOST
And that is something I have no interest in.
Brady FarkasHOST
So when you put in the success of the organization as a whole under Jerry DePoto, mixed with my fear of what could happen if somebody new comes in, then I would rather see Jerry DiPoto and Justin Hollander stay here.
Brady FarkasHOST
There was also this point from Buster Olney as well, which I think is a fair one to make also.
Mike SalkHOST
And so what does that mean now for the future?
Jeff PassanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If I am John Stanton right now, and I'm wondering, do I bring back Jerry DiPoto, or do I go in a new direction? I sit down and I ask him, what went wrong this year and how are we going to fix it? And if the answers are sufficient, then I think because of all the other things, I do bring him back.
Jeff PassanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But if there are not real tangible solutions to the question of how do we start better, to the question of how do we fix the clubhouse, to the question of what are we looking for in the next manager that – neither Scott service nor Dan Wilson brought.
Jeff PassanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If you don't get really good answers to those, that that's when you move on.
Brady FarkasHOST
Now, it might be 8-8, but, like, I don't think it's going to be 4-12, 3-13 kind of thing.
Brady FarkasHOST
My general assumption is that Jerry DiPoto will be back.
Brady FarkasHOST
and a couple of different reasons, right? So much of the organization has gotten better in the decades since he got there, right? The health of the farm system, the health of the organization, the general competitiveness, though they haven't been at the top of the mountain.
Brady FarkasHOST
So I think that this idea that they've been pretty darn good in a lot of ways is appealing.
Harry CareySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Julian Javier at second.
Harry CareySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Jerry DiPoto at short.
Harry CareySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Here's the pitch.
Harry CareySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's a strike call, the fastball.
Larry StoneGUEST
You know, he's always been a supporter of Dipoto, so, uh, you know, I, I, I think there's a ch- there's a possibility that the, that, that there won't be any, uh, change there, that it'll all be on the manager and the coaching staff.
Dave MahlerHOST
Well, what do you think should happen? How, how hot would Jerry Dipoto's seat be, in your mind?
Larry StoneGUEST
Yeah.
Larry StoneGUEST
Uh, I, I think you could justify, uh, f- firing him.
Colby PatnodeHOST
... want that.
Colby PatnodeHOST
That, that's a line that crosses, you know, that, that's a line that he will not cross, and Jerry Dipoto is nothing if not a micromanager.
Colby PatnodeHOST
So maybe it's not a good philosophical fit between those two guys, but if you're not at least interested in talking to Joe Maddon, I don't know what you're doing.
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
All right, let's go over the rest of your lists in just a moment, but first, a reminder.
Brady FarkasHOST
People will point to the trade deadline.
Brady FarkasHOST
People will point the finger at Jerry DiPoto.
Brady FarkasHOST
They'll point the finger at Justin Hollander.
Brady FarkasHOST
They'll point the finger at Dan Wilson.
Ryan DivishGUEST
And the lack of options or lack of minor league relievers to help you, that's not on...
Ryan DivishGUEST
Dan Wilson, that's on Jerry DiPoto and Justin Hollander for not finding that depth that they need at the reliever position.
Bob SteltonHOST
Ryan, Dave brought up our conversation with Steve Phillips last week, and one of the questions we asked him was about, you know, if it bears out that the Mariners don't make the postseason, I personally would find it hard to believe they could run it back with the same exact front office, same exact coaching staff, and that the fan base would be receptive.
Bob SteltonHOST
I think it would be...
