This is the first in a series of under the radar options for the Red Sox to target in trade talks this offseason. The goal is to look for players whose teams may be looking to unload them for various reasons, which the Red Sox may not need to empty the farm system to acquire. This week’s target is Seattle Mariners left fielder Jesse Winker.
After a breakout 2021 campaign in Cincinnati, Jesse Winker arrived in Seattle via trade in March of this year, along with Eugenio Suarez, in exchange for OF Jake Fraley and Ps Justin Dunn, Brandon Williamson, and Connor Phillips.
