"We've got to commit to winning,” said Cal Raleigh, who sent the Mariners to the postseason with a
dramatic walk-off homer one year ago to the day. “We have to commit to going and getting those players. You see other teams going out, going for it, getting big-time pitchers, getting big-time hitters. We have to do that to keep up."
Moreover, Raleigh was frustrated when the Mariners dealt Paul Sewald to the D-backs at the Trade Deadline, a transaction that returned infielder Josh Rojas, outfielder Dominic Canzone and prospect Ryan Bliss.
“We lost a few close games, later in the game, and we could've used him,” Raleigh said of Sewald. “But that's in the past. It's not here or there right now, but you know that definitely took a toll on us, for sure.
“You look over at the other locker room right there,” Raleigh said of the Rangers. “They've added more than anybody else, and you saw where it got them this year. There's more than one way to skin a cat, that's for sure. But going out and getting those big names, people who've done it, people who’ve been there, people who are leaders, people who have shown time and time again that they can be successful in this league ... would help this clubhouse, would help this team
