It comes as no surprise, but Jerry Dipoto and the Mariners are expected to be busy at the Winter Meetings over the next three days. More often than not, the meetings only produce more questions rather than answers, with teams beginning the legwork on future deals with other teams and agents. Some news will break, however, and it’s more likely than not that the Mariners will be at the center of at least one report given how their offseason has gone thus far.
Now six trades in, Dipoto and the M’s will continue discussing deals for the likes of Mike Leake, Carlos Santana, Kyle Seager, and even Mitch Haniger.
