The trade caught some people around the MLB world by surprise, as Wong was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-la-in-hot-pursuit-of-infielder-against-giants-mariners" rel="noopener">previously linked</a> to the Los Angeles Dodgers.</p><p>The trade continued a busy offseason for the Mariners, who’ve <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mariners-news-seattle-acquires-slugger-teoscar-hernandez-from-blue-jays-in-blockbuster-trade" rel="noopener">already acquired</a> Teoscar Hernandez from the Toronto Blue Jays. Wong has dominated headlines since the deal became official. However, did the Mariners win this trade? Or was it a sneaky good move by the Brewers? Without further ado, here are trade grades for both Seattle and Milwaukee.</p><h2><b>Grading the Mariners-Brewers Kolten Wong, Jesse Winker trade</b></h2><p><b>Mariners: B</b></p><p>This deal won’t make or break the Mariners’ 2023 campaign. But they did a nice job of addressing a need in the infield by acquiring Kolten Wong.</p><p>However, the move also raises some questions.</p><p>Wong is an everyday second baseman. The Mariners have been <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/mlb/mariners-2023-free-agent-profile-trea-turner/ar-AA14HmcU" rel="noopener">linked</a> to Trea Turner in free agency. And Seattle has been mentioned as a fit for the other top available shortstops including Carlos Correa, Dansby Swanson, and Xander Bogaerts as well. But this deal makes it seem as if they are bowing out of the shortstop conversation in free agency.</p><p>The Mariners already have JP Crawford patrolling short. With Wong seemingly set to play second base, there would not be a clear opening for those players unless someone were to move to third base.</p><p>Additionally, the loss of Jesse Winker may hurt the Mariners more than they would have originally imagined. Seattle did not offer Mitch Haniger a qualifying offer and traded Kyle Lewis so far this offseason. Winker represented a strong depth piece who can play the outfield or first base.</p><p>There is no question that he struggled mightily in 2022. But trading Winker, a 2021 All-Star, along with Abraham Toro for Kolten Wong is a bit surprising.</p><p>Nevertheless, Wong offers tremendous defense and will add versatility to the lineup. As a result, the Mariners earned a solid B for this trade.</p><p><b>Brewers: A-</b></p><p>This grade could end up looking foolish if Jesse Winker and Abraham Toro both fall short of expectations once again in 2023. But the Brewers previously traded Hunter Renfroe to the Los Angels Angels which created an offensive need for Milwaukee.</p><p>If Jesse Winker finds his 2021 All-Star form, this trade will prove to be a steal for the Brewers. Meanwhile, Toro is a player with potential. He has yet to find his footing in the big leagues, but perhaps this change of scenery will lead to a breakout campaign for him.</p><p>The loss of Kolten Wong is far from ideal. But trading him to the Mariners was not necessarily a bad move. The Brewers have potential replacements on the roster in Luis Urias and Keston Hiura. The Brewers may opt to implement Toro at second base as well.</p><p>The good news for Brewers fans is that this deal is not the beginning of a rebuild. Milwaukee <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-news-milwaukees-corbin-burnes-brandon-woodruff-plan-after-kolten-wong-trade" rel="noopener">announced</a> following the trade that they plan on holding onto Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, and Willy Adames.</p><p>This deal was risky for the Brewers. But they need all of the help they can get on offense. Jesse Winker and Abraham Toro should be able to help Willy Adames, Christian Yelich, and Rowdy Tellez anchor the lineup.</p><p>Milwaukee narrowly won this trade with the Mariners, but it should ultimately help both teams.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After Andrew Wantz threw a dangerous ball at his teammate Julio Rodriguez’ head at the first inning, Jesse Winker was hit by a pitch in the next inning. Afterwards, Winker seemingly took offense at someone in the Angels dugout, as he charged his opponents.</p><p>A bench-clearing brawl ensued, with punches and bags of sunflower seeds being thrown everywhere. Eventually, Winker, along with eight other figures, were ejected from the Mariners-Angels match. After the game, Jesse Winker apologized to the fans for giving them the middle finger.

After nearly getting hit by a pitch to the head, Angels star Mike Trout called out the Mariners pitching crew. The chances of Wantz being instructed to throw at Winker and Rodriguez is not impossible. However, it does seem that Winker wasn’t offended that he was thrown at, but rather at something Angels interim manager Phil Nevin said.</p><p>At the very least, though, Jesse Winker got himself a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mariners-news-jesse-winker-hilariously-gets-pizza-delivered-at-angels-stadium-after-wild-brawl/">nice pizza</a> from a Mariners fan after that brawl. He’ll probably be eating more pizzas from his home, as he’s likely to be suspended by the MLB for instigating a bench-clearing brawl.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Was there really any doubt of him leaving the game? No, but he did try his hand at broadcasting in a recent Spring Training affair. And let’s just say that it did <a href="https://twitter.com/Gravel_sense/status/1508570130699022336">not go according to plan. </a></p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jesse Winker joins the broadcast and everything goes wrong immediately. <a href="https://t.co/1gWS0Xwrki" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/1gWS0Xwrki</a></p><p>— Gravel (@Gravel_sense) <a href="https://twitter.com/Gravel_sense/status/1508570130699022336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">March 28, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Winker joined the Mariners broadcast for an interview. However, Winker told the broadcasters that he was going to show them how it was done. With RHP Paul Sewald on the mound, Winker began his play-by-play session by calling a strike to start off the at-bat. But it was what ensued that stole the show. </p><p>Sewald surrendered a home run on the very next pitch and Winker immediately fell silent while one of the Mariners announcers exclaimed, “Jesse, what did you do!”</p><p>Winker replied by stating he would not be broadcasting anymore and changed the subject with a guilty half-smile on his face. The moment was pure comedy, but it is safe to say that Winker will not be joining any broadcast teams in the near future. </p><p>The outfielder is fresh off of a breakout campaign that saw him hit .305 with 24 home runs for the Cincinnati Reds. He was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mariners-news-seattle-acquires-jesse-winker-eugenio-suarez-in-blockbuster-trade-with-reds/">traded during the offseason with Eugenio Suarez</a> to the Mariners as Seattle looks to break their league leading 20-year postseason drought. The addition of Winker will undoubtedly help them make a playoff run after just falling short in 2021. </p><p>But for now, Jesse Winker might owe Paul Sewald an apology after jinxing Sewald’s surrendered home run. </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Mariners have been in the market all offseason long to add extra offense and this deal certainly accomplished that goal. However, the team had previously <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mariners-news-mariners-prepared-to-go-all-in-on-kris-bryant/">been linked to former MVP Kris Bryant</a>. But the odds of Seattle signing Bryant became far less likely following this move. MLB insider Jim Bowden believes that the Mariners trade <a href="https://twitter.com/JimBowdenGM/status/1503487560181501957">“opens the door”</a> for two other teams to pursue Bryant in free agency.</p><h2><b>Kris Bryant’s Two Potential Suitors</b></h2><p>The first team who will likely benefit the most is the Philadelphia Phillies.</p><p>Philadelphia has been linked to Bryant seemingly all off-season for two main reasons. First off, Bryce Harper and Bryant both grew up in Las Vegas and played baseball with one another, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/phillies-news-bryce-harper-trying-to-get-kris-bryant-to-philadelphia/">so their relationship could be grounds for a reunion in Philly</a>. Secondly, the Phillies could use the extra offense and defensive help. They don’t feature a true third baseman, as young Alec Bohm has not proven to be their everyday guy at the hot corner. Additionally, Philadelphia could take advantage of Bryant’s versatility and utilize him in the outfield as well.</p><p>And implementing Bryant in a lineup that already features sluggers such as Harper and Rhys Hoskins could be lethal.</p><p>The other team that figures to benefit from Seattle’s deal is the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies franchise direction is fairly unclear at the moment but they have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockies-news-rockies-going-all-in-on-kris-bryant/">reportedly been in the mix to sign Bryant</a>. The Rockies dealt Nolan Arenado away last year and are expected to lose Trevor Story in free agency this offseason. Although they are still in the midst of a re-tooling phase, it appears that they may be interested in building around Bryant.</p><p>The former Cub is a proven winner who helped lead Chicago to their first World Series since 1908 back in 2016. The Rockies believe he is someone who can come in and be a mentor for their young roster while still producing at a high level.</p><h2><b>KB’s Future</b></h2><p>Kris Bryant is a talented player who is still just 30 years old. He is going to receive a large contract this offseason, the only question is who will he sign with?</p><p>Technically, Seattle is still in play. But the Winker-Suarez deal eliminates them as the favorites to land Bryant. The Mets could also be an option, but they have already spent a significant amount of money this offseason. And the Giants appear to have moved on barring a change of heart.</p><p>So it all leads to Philadelphia and Colorado. Both teams are looking to add a franchise star and Bryant certainly fits that billing. If he wants to win now and play with an old friend, then the Phillies would be the best destination for him. But if he fancies receiving the opportunity to become the immediate superstar on a rebuilding team then we could see him head to the Rockies.</p><p>We should find out Bryant’s decision in the coming days given that Spring Training games begin this week.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
