They lacked a starting second baseman. Winker was plagued by injuries in his only season with Seattle. He ended up having knee surgery back in October. The Milwaukee Brewers are hoping he can have better luck health-wise next season.MLB Twitter believes this trade brings value to both teams. Seattle was searching for a left-handed bat in a lineup that's predominantly right-handed. Milwaukee acquiring Toro, who has a ton of team control left on his contract, is great for them.&quot;That's a win for the Mariners,&quot; one fan said.SteveBunin@SteveBuninThat’s a win for the @Mariners twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/…Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalMariners acquiring Kolten Wong from Brewers for Jesse Winker and Abraham Toro, sources tell @TheAthletic.2751Mariners acquiring Kolten Wong from Brewers for Jesse Winker and Abraham Toro, sources tell @TheAthletic.That’s a win for the @Mariners twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/…&quot;Feels like Milwaukee comes out way on top here,&quot; said another.MASN Oriolez@MASNOriolezFeels like Milwaukee comes out way on top here twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/…Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalMariners acquiring Kolten Wong from Brewers for Jesse Winker and Abraham Toro, sources tell @TheAthletic.111Mariners acquiring Kolten Wong from Brewers for Jesse Winker and Abraham Toro, sources tell @TheAthletic.Feels like Milwaukee comes out way on top here twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/…Andrew Mueller@23Mueller23@Ken_Rosenthal @TheAthletic @MitchellLeon13 .. really like this for the Brewers.

He spent five seasons with the Cincinnati Reds before joining the Seattle Mariners in 2022.Winker is coming off a career-low in batting average, OBP, and SLG. It wasn't the year he was hoping to have when transitioning to a new team for the first time in his major league career. Look for Winker to have a much better season in 2023 if he can stay healthy.The Seattle Mariners and the Milwaukee Brewers got a head start on the Winter MeetingsBoston Red Sox v New York YankeesBoth the Milwaukee Brewers and Seattle Mariners made a deal before the MLB Winter Meetings, which start Sunday in San Diego.
