Seattle Times beat writer Ryan Divish took to his @RyanDivish Twitter account to post some interesting thoughts on C Mike Zunino, who was traded from the Mariners to the Rays on Thursday in a five-player deal also featuring OF Mallex Smith. Divish has been covering the Mariners since 2006, and covered Zunino since he was the team's first pick in 2012.
Divish's take:
"Definitely going to miss covering Mike Zunino. He was great dude, always available and accommodating for the media. He was honest and forthcoming about his failures at the plate. It bothered him immensely, but he always knew his first priority was defense and working pitchers.
