Of the many trades made by Jerry Dipoto since he took over as general manager of the Mariners in October 2015, and there have been so, so many — more than 80 in total — no organization has been more frequent trade partners than the Tampa Bay Rays.
Dipoto once joked that he just sat in the corner at the MLB Winter Meetings, making deals with the Rays.
And with Tampa coming to town this weekend, a few familiar faces will return to Seattle from those trades, most notably catcher Mike Zunino and outfielder Guillermo Heredia, who were traded this past offseason.
