No, they cared. For almost 20 years they tried reloading that 2001 team with mediocre vets and stupid Cano like deals. They never broke down to do a rebuild until a few years ago. Julio Rodriguez is the Mariners first position prospect from the farm system on track to be a star in a long time. Kyle Seager was the only decent position player developed during the “reload 2001” era.
