Is Mariners Outfielder Jesse Winker a fit for the White Sox?

The Seattle Mariners are considering a trade for Jesse Winker. Marco Gonzalez and Chris Flezen will not be included in the deal.

Jesse Winker is a left-handed outfielder who played for Cincinnati from 2021 to 2022. He is set to make 8 million dollars in 2023 and is an unrestricted free agent in 2024. The White Sox are looking for a couple of outfielders for 2022. Winer hit .219/.344/.345 last year. His production was down from his previous season.

Winker is a one-year contract player who is cheap and has a good chance of bouncing back. He fell out of favor in the Seattle Mariners' clubhouse. The Mariners are interested in Jared Kelley, Matthew Thompson, or Davis Martin as well as other players in their farm system. White Sox are going to need a new clubhouse leader with Jose Abreu leaving in 2023. Nico Andrade is excited to be a part of the talented staff at Sox On 35th. He grew up going with his parents to the games and is now a lifelong White Sock fan.

Jesse Winker was at home during the postseason. Winer is not physically strong and doesn't put in the time to improve his game. His teammates are frustrated with him. The team prepares more than any other team in recent years. The manager Scott Servais has preached that players should embrace the team's plan. If they don't like it, they will find someone else. It takes all the players to embrace it. They believe that's why they're good. Jesse Winger hasn't followed through on that a lot.
