MLBTradeRumors has speculated that Jesse Winker, a former Seattle Mariners outfielder, could be a good fit for the Cleveland Guardians this offseason. With a projected market value of $2.4 million, he aligns with the Guardians' budget constraints, especially as they navigate television revenue issues.
Offensively, the Guardians struggled last season, ranking 14th in runs per game, and Winker could provide the boost they need. After a challenging stint with the Mariners and Brewers, he rebounded in 2024, hitting .253 with 14 homers and 58 RBI, making him a viable candidate for a solid role in 2025.
