Wow.Mariners land 2B Wong in trade with Brewers
The Seattle Mariners acquired second baseman Kolten Wong from the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday for outfielder Jesse Winker and infielder Abraham Toro, the teams announced.www.espn.com
Winker did have an awful 2022 but the Mariners seemed to have soured on him quickly. Toro hasn't done much in the big leagues yet. They seemed to sour on him quickly as well.

Maybe the Giants can ship off some prospects to Pittsburgh and complete the circle

Not really advocating for his acquisition. It would just be even more embarrassing that we traded him before he got to the big leagues and would ship off prospects to get him back.Bryan Reynolds Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Rookie Status & More | Baseball-Reference.com

Glove declining fast, but that could be because he is not exactly inspired to practice/hustle in the field.
But that is money in the pot, so to speak (ie, it's not ours anymore), and not a good basis for whether or not we should trade for him.

Let's say the Giants land Judge at 9 years, $400m and Correa at 9 years, $288m (MLBTR estimate), that adds approximately another $76.4m to the payroll for 2023, leaving the Giants about $19.6m shy of the luxury tax threshold. They'd still have room to sign some players but probably not anyone worth signing. Do you all think a rotation of Webb, Cobb, DeSclafani, Wood and Junis, along with a lineup of Wade/Flores, Estrada, Correa, Judge, Pederson, Crawford/Davis, Slater, Yastrzemski and Bart would be playoff worthy? I assume that about 10m would be used to fortify the bullpen and the remaining 9.5m would be wiggle room to stay under the threshold and/or used in the midseason trade deadline.

I would love to see them sign Judge, but I can't see them shell out another $30+mm for a SS. There are too many other holes to fill. For Correa money, we could shore up the pitching with a quality SP and a quality RP. I'd be willing to gamble that Crawford can return to form in large part. I have to believe his dropoff last year was health related.Let's say the Giants land Judge at 9 years, $400m and Correa at 9 years, $288m (MLBTR estimate), that adds approximately another $76.4m to the payroll for 2023, leaving the Giants about $19.6m shy of the luxury tax threshold.

By the way, if you look at MLBTR's Top 50 free agents and the predicted signing amounts, you'll see that they are lower than actual signings, thus far. Correa could easily be 320m at 9 years. If that is the case, the Giants would only have about 16m left before hitting the luxury cap threshold. Most of the guys on this list would then be out of reach, unless ownership is willing to exceed the cap for a few years.

Wouldn't be surprised if Correa wants something like 11 years, 350m now
Boy, if they could only have seen me throw a Wiffle ball in junior high....
