For most of the Mariners fans now, Jerry Dipoto is an interesting figure. Some love his aggressive style. Others use phrases like “he trades the team away”. But whether you like him or hate him, one thing that can never be said of Dipoto is that he is boring.
Today, we are going to look back at his five best trades, at least according to me. In this column, I’ll focus more on process than result, since it is too early to know what the results of certain trades will be for years. Again, this is an opinion piece, but I do think each of these trades will or have turned out favorably for the Mariners.
