Rumor: Jon Morosi reports Mariners inquiring on Kolten Wong


Jon Morosi has tweeted that the Mariners are inquiring on second baseman Kolten Wong. Even though Wong struggled on the defensive side of the ball last season, many expect some rebound in the area going into 2023. Coupled with his mini-breakout with the bat - posting a career high 118 OPS+ - he could be a very valuable player at $10m on a one-year deal. The Mariners took a big step forward in 2022, making the postseason for the first time in two decades, and they have the ability to easily absorb the contract (and a lot more).

The Mariners' farm system has graduated a bunch of players but there are still some interesting names in their top prospect list. What do you think is a reasonable price for Kolten Wong on a one-year, $10m contract?

I hope the Mariners don't use the BTV site. Because this is the kind of guy we could get:
https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=benite001jor

He was sent to the AZ fall league where he did fine (though not many SO), but teams usually don't often send their best pitchers there.

So, basically we'd avoid the $2M buyout and get a guy whom no one would get excited over. Clever way to get out of the buyout.
