SEATTLE (AP) Right before the start of baseball's winter meetings, the Seattle Mariners checked off another offseason need, this time with a Gold Glove second baseman.

Seattle acquired Kolten Wong from the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday in a trade for outfielder Jesse Winker and infielder Abraham Toro.

"Second base is really an area that we've struggled to get production out of, particularly offensively," Seattle general manager Justin Hollander said. "His game really seems to be trending upward year after year offensively, particularly against right-handed pitching. He's learning to elevate the ball. He makes a ton of contact."
