The Seattle Mariners sit at .500 entering the weekend, which puts them in a unique position approaching the trade deadline.

Jerry Dipoto conceded that the Mariners have "not really separated ourselves in a meaningful way to be aggressive on the buying end."

While the President of Baseball Operations left open the potential for short-term additions, Dipoto noted they'll use the next 11 days to evaluate if it’s "better to make a push for the '23 season or to better situate ourselves for '24."
