I am tired of sitting here watching the Mariners' offense struggle. What is there to do to fix it? Well, not much really. The core group of guys really needs to get going, that is the single biggest issue and if guys like Julio, JP, and Cal can get going, this team could look a lot different. But that doesn't preclude Jerry Dipoto from going out and being aggressive in trying to spark this lineup. In fact, that is the exact type of thing that he should be doing, and from the sounds of it, that is something he is already exploring.
The second base position has been terrible for the Mariners for quite a few years and continues in 2024. Jorge Polanco has not been the savior that many Mariners fans thought that he would become. Ryan Bliss has shown some promise but relying on a 24-year-old who has just 26 major league games to his name, is really hard to do when you're looking to make a deep playoff run. That is why Dipoto needs to make a move, and soon, to help get this offense get back on track before it's too late.
