Kolten Wong Stats

The Seattle Mariners acquired second baseman Kolten Wong from the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday in exchange for outfielder Jesse Winker and third baseman Abraham Toro, according to sources. The Brewers picked up Wong's $10 million club option for the 2023 season but then dealt him to Seattle on Friday. In Seattle, Wong will become the everyday second baseman next year, replacing free-agent Adam Frazier at the keystone. The 32-year-old veteran will be leaving a hitter-friendly ballpark for a more pitcher-friendly one in the Pacific Northwest, so he could see some regression at the plate in 2023 after slashing .251/.339/.430 with a career-high 15 home runs, 47 RBI, 65 runs scored and 17 stolen bases in 134 games in 2022. Wong will have plenty of opportunities to score runs in this Mariners lineup.

The San Francisco Giants and Seattle Mariners are among the teams interested in trading for Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong, who will earn $10 million in 2023, according to sources. The Los Angeles Dodgers also like Wong. The Brewers have already traded outfielder Hunter Renfroe and parted with relievers Brad Boxberger and Brent Suter and are expected to move Wong to create an opening for rookie Brice Turang. Milwaukee picked up Wong's 2023 club option, but he might not be with them next season after hitting .262/.337/.439 over the last two years with the club. In 134 games last season, Wong had a career-high 15 home runs, 47 RBI, 65 runs scored and 17 stolen bases for the Brew Crew.
