SEATTLE -- With Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings set for next week just outside Washington, D.C., it's fair to wonder how many moves Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto has left to make after already engineering five offseason trades that have brought in eight new players.
But remember, this is one of the most active GMs in baseball and the latest shuffling has yet to fully address the shortage of left-handed relief and has also created more of a need in the rotation, so don't be surprised if Dipoto manages to do a little more holiday shopping when player agents and executives from all 30 teams gather for four days of conversation.
