Dipoto foresees less active winter in Year 2

SEATTLE -- It's been just more than a year since Jerry Dipoto took over as general manager of the Mariners. One very busy year indeed.

Since Dipoto replaced Jack Zduriencik in late September 2015, he's engineered 27 trades that sent away 34 players and brought back 25 new ones. He's signed seven Major League free agents and claimed six others.

He's churned the roster so much that many of the new players he acquired have since been dealt away -- of the 46 players currently on the team's Major League roster, only 22 are holdovers from Zduriencik's regime.
