SCOTTSDALE — Tyler Herb sat down in the visiting bullpen at Camelback Ranch last weekend and saw a familiar face two seats away. He hadn’t met the other right-hander yet, but it was a man he will always be linked to. Steven Okert was sitting between the two, and Herb tapped him on the shoulder.
“Is that Chris Heston?” he asked.
Okert quickly made an introduction.
“Hey,” Heston said. “I’m the guy you got traded for.”
It took Heston and Herb about a month of being in the same organization to actually meet. It took significantly longer for them to be traded for one another.
