Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand

The Seattle Mariners have acquired second baseman Kolten Wong from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for outfielder Jesse Winker and infielder Abraham Toro, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
Wong, 32, is a two-time Gold Glove Award winner who hit for a 118 OPS+ in 2022. He’s entering the final season of his contract, during which he’ll earn $10 million. The Mariners would be wise to pair Wong with a right-handed platoon partner, as he has generally been a below-average contributor versus southpaws. Even so, he should provide the Mariners with good defense, baserunner, and some quality hitting against right-handed pitchers.

1. The Duke Posted: December 02, 2022 at 07:13 PM (#6107651)Given Winker's rep this seems an odd trade. Do the Brewers have somebody in mind for 2B (Toro?) or does this mean they're gonna give Hiura another shot?
