The Mariners completed a deal with the Reds that will bring outfielder Jesse Winker and infielder Eugenio Suárez to Seattle, the clubs announced on Monday. Cincinnati will receive Justin Dunn, Brandon Williamson and Jake Fraley in return, and the Mariners will also send a player to be named later.
Winker was a first-time All-Star in 2021, slugging a career-high 24 home runs with a .305/.394/.556 batting line. The slugger Suárez went deep 31 times last year and hit 49 homers in 2019, though he struck out 189 times.
The move comes a day after the Reds traded Sonny Gray to the Twins, as their offseason overhaul continues.
Winker, 28, has two seasons of arbitration eligibility remaining before hitting free agency after the 2023 season. Suárez, 30, is owed roughly $11 million per year for the next three seasons, with a $15 million team option for ‘25 or a $2 million buyout. The Mariners are assuming that entire financial commitment.
