"Baltimore Orioles Bolster Roster with Minor League Signings"

The Baltimore Orioles have signed veteran second baseman Kolten Wong to a minor league deal, with Wong joining their big league camp as a non-roster invitee. Wong, who struggled with the Mariners but performed well in a brief stint with the Dodgers last season, will face tough competition to make the Orioles' roster due to the team's abundance of infield talent. However, his left-handed bat and versatility could make him a valuable addition to provide insurance for the team's inexperienced infielders.

Red Sox Eyeing Mariners' Designated Kolten Wong

The Seattle Mariners have designated second baseman Kolten Wong for assignment after a disappointing season, and the Boston Red Sox have expressed interest in trading for him. Wong, who had been acquired by the Mariners in the offseason, struggled both offensively and defensively, posting a .165 batting average and below-average defense. Prior to this season, Wong had been a consistent performer at second base, earning NL Gold Glove awards in 2019 and 2020. The Red Sox, who have faced infield production issues, are considering Wong as a potential solution.

"Rookie José Caballero shines for Mariners in breakout performance"

Jose Caballero's impressive breakout performance has led to speculation that he could be the Seattle Mariners' second baseman of the future. With a slash line of .278/.379/.389 and a 123 wRC+ in 66 plate appearances across 23 games, Caballero has been a spark plug for the team. Meanwhile, Kolten Wong has struggled, hitting .105/.191/.158. Caballero's success has led to him starting the past four games, and with backup middle infielder Dylan Moore set to return from injury, the situation at second base is becoming more complicated.
