Mariners Assistant GM Joe Bohringer Resigns

By Mark Polishuk | December 19, 2020 at 12:45pm CDT

Joe Bohringer has resigned his position as the Mariners’ assistant general manager in order to retire from baseball, MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reports (Twitter link).  Bohringer will remain with the team until the end of the year “to help guide in the transition” to a new hire.

Bohringer was promoted the AGM job prior to the 2019 season, following three-plus years as special assistant to general manager Jerry Dipoto.  Though Bohringer is only 50 years old, he has spent 31 seasons in pro baseball, dating back to his beginnings as an intern with the Pirates and Yankees front office while still a student at MIT.  Bohringer’s resume includes front office and scouting positions with the Dodgers, Diamondbacks, Cubs, and a prior stint with the Mariners as an area scouting supervisor from 2002-06 before returning to Seattle in 2015.

      Yeah, he’s not living up to the well-deserved nickname and reputation so far this offseason. But I’m sure just when we least expect it, Dealin’ Dipoto will strike again.

      When DiPoto came in, he traded away a lot of the players he inherited. Now the players he has are “his” guys.

    Maybe the new Assistant GM will be Matt Klentak! Jerry Dipoto and He worked together prior to the Phillies. Could be a good spot for him.

          You’ve got the right name for this comment Chester! Haha – Stirring up the pot here haha

          You must be talking about one single incident from 2018 with the ‘disgruntled employee’ Dr Lorena Martin- who btw was fired by the Mariners. After she was fired, this is important here, afterwards she blasted the Mariners with claims of discrimination and misconduct. An independent National Law Firm- (Epstein Becker and Green) interviewed 17 “potential witnesses” and found “no credible evidence” supporting her claim. None. Nothing. Not a single thing.

          It doesn’t surprise me that people still choose to believe LM’s allegations to be true when we live in a day and age where millions of people believe everything that’s written on a certain someone’s Twitter feed!

          Weird. I said I didn’t believe the allegations, but it was more than just Lorena Gonzalez.

          I’m not stirring anything, there has been someone who has worked with Dipoto that has less than glowing things to say about him. Fact. I’m not insinuating anything, other than I think he’s a mediocre GM.

          Yea, you plainly said u didn’t believe them and we’ve all read about the Dr Lorena Martin investigation that cleared the M’s of all wrong doing.

          I was wondering where you read about further allegations. If you fact check any allegations of discrimination and harassment by Dipoto there are no other documented cases online. All of the accusations stemmed from one incident where an angry Lorena Martin took to social media. So, naturally I wanted to know where you read this.

          I used the term stirring the (copper) pot! because I couldn’t find any proof of further allegations.

          I get it…The majority of Angels fans dislike Dipoto for the way he walked out on your team. He has a completely different concept on how to run an organization than Arte Moreno does. So I partially blame him for walking out like that.

          Some of Seattle’s fan base and the rest of the League see it differently. I blame Moreno for hiring him in the first place and not letting the GM do his job. Dipoto was against signing Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols for example. But Moreno overuled him and pushed him to sign them. What have they gotten you?? You’ve had two major albatross contracts hanging over youre organization that you’re owner pushed for, for nothing. Dipoto disagreed with Moreno, and instead of finishing his contract he walked out.

          Now I get bashing a GM who does not have success, especially recent ones. Hell, Seattle still talks about Jack Z and Bill “f’n” Bavasi, but at least they were still given full control of the team and can take full responsibility for their mistakes.

          I blame Moreno more for hiring a GM that he was not on the same page with to begin with. At the end of the day, Dipoto’s hiring was on the ownership. Now I’m not saying Jerry was a golden goose while he was there, but he’s done some really good things while in Seattle. At the end if the day y’all are gonna have to move on eventually.

          I mean, didn’t you just have a GM that was an epic failure more recently? And yet, the Dipoto bashing continues. Why, cause he walked out on the team because he didn’t see eye to eye with the ownership? Obviously he s*** and got off the pot, rather than made y’all suffer through anymore of his moves. You should be thanking him for leaving early if anything.

          So when I say whiners, I refer to the majority of the Angels fan base who cry about how horrible of a GM Jerry Dipoto is. He’s been great in Seattle in my opinion.

          I wasn’t gonna respond to this, but I’ve said my peace and that’s where I’m at.

          Benjamin- that’s a well thought out and well written comment there. My sentiments exactly.

          I’d also like to add- imo Sciosca has to share in some of the blame. MS would not allow Jerry to give his Angels hitters any type of analytical data on the pitchers they were about to face. JD was also not allowed to give Angels pitchers any analytical data on the opposing hitters. Unthinkable in today’s game.

          Dipoto was inexperienced as a GM before he came to LAA so perhaps he could’ve managed the Moreno-Sciosca relationships a little better but Dipoto was never completely allowed to fully do his job. I for one, am glad it worked out that way. We’re a better team since he’s taken over

          Wow! I think you are the first sir, that I would actually like to take off my hat and shake you’re hand. I was prepared for a fire roast of negative feedback. Must say I am pleasantly surprised.

          I didn’t realize that about Scioscia. That must’ve been hell for everybody all around. Egads!! I would’ve wanted out of there too, and it having nothing to do with the organization, but for sheer philosophical beliefs in how to run an organization. I’m sure he learned a lot during his time there. Let the good old fashion rivalry continue. And Happy Holidays to you kind sir!

          I was genuinely baffled as to why the Angels fans (and a tiny minority of M’s fans) were so angry at Dipoto. So, I did a deep dive on the situation! There’s no shortage of information from S Californian based media. Haha

          Cheers Benjamin and a Happy Holiday season to you my friend!

    You don’t “resign” to retire. You announce you’re retiring. It’s usually a happy time. “Hey, congrats, Joe. Wow, you’re quite young to be retiring, but good on you.” As opposed to, “Hey, Joe, just heard you resigned. Where you going? Good for you. That DiPoto dude is a jacka**, making a trade every 14 seconds”.

    Not picking on the MLBTR writer for the torturous first sentence. It’s how Heyman phrased it. Heyman likely believes something else is going in here. I will say, it’s nice of Bohringer to stick around to the end of the year to help with the transition to the new hire. Looks like the Mariners will interview, hire and bring on board a new AGM in the next 12 days that Bohringer can train.

    Hopefully everything is ok. If so, my guess is sometime over the coming year Bohringer announces he’s not retired when he joins a new organization in some other capacity.

      But yeah, really weird that Heyman might be trying to imply something sinister. People might start to think he’s biased and hates Seattle despite his previous, glowing comments regarding the organization.

      There’s no In-N-Out Burger in Seattle, and it’s T-Mobile Park now, not Safeco Field. It hasn’t been Safeco Field for nearly 2 years. If you’re going to write comedy routines, at least get the basic facts straight.
