Jerry Dipoto's job is likely safe despite the Seattle fans' persistent calls for the ax.
In seven-plus years under Dipoto, the Mariners have posted MLB's 11th-best regular-season record at 669-629 (.515), including the eight-best record at 321-269 (.544) since the start of the 2021 season.
in the eight seasons before Dipoto's arrival, the Mariners posted MLB's 29th-best record at 583-713 (.450).
Since 2021 the Seattle payroll has ranked in the bottom half of Major League Baseball. The M's currently have a highly regarded farm system.
Still, the Mariners have been nearly unwatchable this season (the mirror image of the upstart Red Sox).
FWIW the Los Angeles Angels are on pace for their ninth-straight losing season since Dipoto's departure from Anaheim.
