Jerry Dipoto heard the concerns coming out of the Seattle Mariners\' clubhouse after the team was eliminated from playoff contention on the final weekend of the regular season.
And while he acknowledged the comments made by Cal Raleigh, J.P. Crawford and others, Dipoto, the team\'s president of baseball operations, doesn\'t necessarily believe going out and signing high-profile free agents is the answer to make Seattle better than the other clubs in the AL West.
\"I don\'t know that the solutions to our problems are big-name players. I\'m not sure that we have big problems,\" Dipoto said Tuesday, two days after the Mariners wrapped up an 88-win season that left Seattle two games shy of a playoff spot. \"Would I like to have big-name players? Sure, I think we all would.\"
