Trade Strategy

U.S.S. Mariner provides an interesting take on Jerry DiPoto’s trade strategy:

Jerry Dipoto and the M’s came to view a player who’d played his way to a lower ceiling as having more value in trade – even without a mint-conditioned prospect sheen – than they do on the M’s roster.

The post shows how that explains the moves made so far this off-season by the M’s. Rather than waste time developing disappointing prospects, the M’s move them to another team who believe those prospects still have upside.
