Daily Puck Drop...Dipoto back, why? Geno confirms contract

On today’s Daily Puck Drop,  Jason “Puck” Puckett, former KJR host and Jim Moore, former co-host at KJR, open up with Jim on the road in Madras, Oregon.  They discuss their excitement and nerves about taking the show live starting Monday. They mention the sponsors of their show and express gratitude for their support. They briefly mention the possibility of new hosts taking over their previous time slot.  The conversation revolves around the Seattle Mariners and their general manager Jerry Dipoto. The hosts discuss the recent decision to extend Dipoto's contract despite the team's lack of success. They express frustration with the organization's lack of accountability and the failure to make the playoffs in nine years. They also discuss the team's farm system, the toxic environment within the organization, and the Mariners' reputation for being cost-conscious. The conversation touches on the possibility of trading players and the future of the team. In this final part of the conversation, Jim and Puck discuss the memories and emotions surrounding the Oakland Coliseum, the potential contract extension for Geno Smith, and their smoking lock of the week. They also introduce Taylor Mathis, a sports handicapper, and discuss upcoming episodes and guests.
