Mariners president Jerry Dipoto hopes his aggressive deadline moves lead to a World Series run

SEATTLE (AP) — New Seattle Mariners third baseman Eugenio Suárez made a point of interrupting president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto's post-trade deadline news conference. Dipoto, who reacquired the slugging third baseman from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday in exchange for a trio of minor leaguers, was praising Suárez from the Mariners' dugout when the 34-year-old best known for his home runs and good vibes butted in. 'Stop it!' Suárez said, more than loud enough for all to hear. Suárez, Dipoto and the rest of the franchise had plenty to be pleased about after the trade deadline. The Mariners, who entered Thursday night's game against the Texas Rangers in playoff position, bolstered their lineup by adding more than just Suárez, who has 36 homers this season and is tied with Seattle's Cal Raleigh for the major league lead with 87 RBIs. A week ago, the Mariners made another deal with the D-backs for slugging first baseman Josh Naylor. Dipoto believes Seattle acquired the 'best bats' available, adding power to a lineup that already ranks fifth in the majors in home runs. 'This is the best lineup we've had since I've been here,' Dipoto said. 'Without question.' Dipoto, who was hired as the Mariners' general manager in 2015 and promoted to president of baseball operations in 2021, has overseen a number of competitive clubs in the Emerald City. While Seattle has qualified for the playoffs only once under Dipoto, it has had a winning record in six of the last nine seasons. Dipoto's teams have often been in the playoff race ahead of the deadline, but Seattle's moves haven't been as aggressive as this year's additions of Suárez, Naylor and veteran left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson. Dipoto said his mindset wasn't that different from previous seasons, but he said he was more willing to acquire players who will be free agents at the end of the year. 'We feel like this team deserved it, the opportunity to just go out and see if we can win the World Series,' Dipoto said. 'We feel like we have as good a lineup as there is in our league. Our rotation, if our guys do the things that they do, has proven that they can be as good as anybody in this league.' This team is in many ways deeper than previous squads, too. Raleigh is in the midst of what Dipoto called an 'MVP-type' season, and the Mariners had four other All-Stars. Starting pitchers George Kirby and Logan Gilbert, both of whom missed significant time earlier in the season with injuries, are healthy again, adding to a rotation that's been buoyed by Bryan Woo and Luis Castillo. 'I think if you talk to other clubs in the league,' Dipoto said, 'they're pretty bullish on what we're capable of when we're hitting on all cylinders. And while we had a hot streak early in the season, we haven't hit our next hot streak, and it's coming.' To Dipoto's point, the Mariners' longest win streak of the season was six games and it came at the end of April and early May. The additions of Suárez, Naylor and Ferguson could push Seattle from being a fringe postseason contender to a legitimate threat to win the AL West, in which they entered Thursday trailing the Houston Astros by five games. Manager Dan Wilson was confident that he had a good team even if the Mariners hadn't added talent at the deadline. Unlike previous seasons, though, Dipoto felt compelled to supplement the roster in a meaningful way. 'I believe that adding to this team, adding some energy to the room and just showing the guys that we believe in what we're doing was important,' Dipoto said. 'And I think the response has been great.' ___ AP MLB:

Montrell Washington wants to ‘force' Giants into keeping him come Week 1

By the time he turned 26, Montrell Washington had already spent time in the same offensive meetings as Russell Wilson — with the Broncos — and Patrick Mahomes. 'GOATs,' he said. He'd been in wide receiver rooms featuring DeAndre Hopkins, Jerry Jeudy, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Courtland Sutton. He'd even won a Super Bowl ring with the 2023 Chiefs. Advertisement As part of a group of young wideouts competing for a spot in Giants training camp, Washington doesn't possess the typical background of a bubble player. He might lack statistics — no catches in a game since 2023 — and a track record to instantly propel him toward an automatic roster spot, but he has been surrounded by an unmatched wealth of football knowledge after getting selected by the Broncos in the fifth round of the 2022 draft. He impressed in camp again Thursday, when he connected with Jaxson Dart for a pair of nifty catches during reps with the second team, and Washington has worked as a returner, too, providing some semblance of special teams value required for any bubble player pushing for one of the final roster spots. Advertisement 'I can play with Russell Wilson,' Washington told The Post. 'I can play with Pat Mahomes. I can be around De'Andre Hopkins. I can be around JuJu. Guys like that. I can be around anybody. Them guys are contract guys, big-name guys. 'I feel like I can ball with anybody.' Washington, who signed a futures contract with the Giants in February, said he told Wilson — who looks 'even better' than he did with the Broncos — once they both arrived that he wasn't ready as a rookie in 2022. Advertisement He didn't take full advantage of the opportunities presented. 5 Giants wide receiver Montrell Washington (80) gets by cornerback Tre Hawkins III (37) at practice during OTA's in East Rutherford, N.J. Bill Kostroun/New York Post Didn't have a study plan for learning the playbook, either. He appeared in 15 games that year but caught just four passes for 2 yards, while also rushing for 30 yards, and returning 32 punts and 18 kicks. Advertisement When the Broncos released him before the start of the 2023 season, the Chiefs signed him to their practice squad, and he spent the past two years shuffling back and forth — elevated for some games, then assigned back — while experiencing the Andy Reid operation that won a second consecutive Super Bowl in 2024 and fell one win short of a three-peat last season. 5 Giants wide receiver Montrell Washington practices during OTA's in East Rutherford, N.J. Bill Kostroun/New York Post 'It's cool getting the ring, but now you want to be the one actually playing in that game,' said Washington, who wasn't elevated during either of the Kansas City playoff runs but experienced the Super Bowl win from the sidelines. 'Making a difference in that game. That's the goal I got for myself, to [the] next one, hey, I want to be playing. I want to be a factor. A real big factor in the game, which I know I can be.' Washington's first step toward that involves sticking on the Giants' roster and carving out some career stability. For the most part, the Giants' wide receiver room is set — with Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and likely Jalin Hyatt following Malik Nabers atop the depth chart. 5 Giants receivers Montrell Washington (80) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (81) and quarterback Jaxson Dart (6) celebrate a touchdown the team's during training camp on July 29, 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST With Bryce Ford-Wheaton out for the year, Washington falls into a group of receivers vying for likely two spots — a group that includes undrafted free agent Beaux Collins (who has impressed head coach Brian Daboll with his physicality and blocking), Lil'Jordan Humphrey (entering his seventh season) and Da'Quan Felton. 'He's learning the system, new to the system, but he's got some quickness and he's done a nice job of what we've asked him to do,' Daboll said of Washington. Advertisement 5 Giants' Montrell Washington practices during OTA's in East Rutherford, N.J. Bill Kostroun/New York Post Washington has tried to make a play each practice to stand out. He wants his play to 'force the Giants to not get rid of me.' To make it 'real hard for them.' Advertisement To channel all of his observations from the star-studded Chiefs and Broncos rosters, and combine them with his all the ways he has become a different player since the last time he overlapped with Wilson. 5 Montrell Washington and Dre Phillips (22) practice during OTA's in East Rutherford, N.J. Bill Kostroun/New York Post 'I'm glad I get to show him,' Washington said of Wilson. 'Like, hey, I'm ready.' One promising day of camp — or even two or three — won't solidify his roster spot. Advertisement That'll take the rest of the summer, the preseason games, all of it. But Washington, as far as bubble players go, has a unique résumé and a taste of football immortality that even plenty of stars never get. He just needs to turn it all into a chance. Advertisement 'Everywhere I've been, I kind of had, like, those big-time guys,' Washington said. 'For me, it's just … learning. That's one thing I do. I'm always learning from somebody, no matter if I'm playing or not.'
