The Brewers continue to be active on the trade market as the Winter Meetings approach next week. This afternoon, they traded Kolten Wong to the Mariners for outfielder Jesse Winker and infielder Abraham Toro. The deal will include $1.75 million in cash from the Brewers to balance out the financial impact. Kolten Wong is set to make $10 million in 2023, while Jesse Winker is making $8.25 million. The trade is not official yet, as the medical records still have to be reviewed.
The Brewers picked up Wong’s option earlier this offseason, though his name was on the market regularly as a trade candidate.
