Jesse Winker, Outfielder
Aside from Bryan Reynolds, the Pirates' outfield has not been good. Josh Palacios has looked good in small samples, and Jack Suwinski has gotten better, but that still is not enough. Pittsburgh desperately needs a consistent outfielder to get them to the postseason.
Although the Pirates are definitely in the market for a player with control, it is not a gurantee that they will land one. If it does not work out, they could go with Jesse Winker for two reasons. He would provide a solid left-handed bat to the lineup, and a strong stay could increase hopes of re-signing him in the offseason to a multiple-year contract with moderate value attached.
This season, Winker has a batting average of .260 with 11 home runs and 43 runs batted in. He also has an OPS of .806, which includes an on-base percentage of .374 and a slugging percentage of .432. His wRC+ is at 130 and his strikeout percentage is at 22.3%.
His defense is not great in the corner spots, but his bat makes up for it with an fWAR of 1.3. This rental would be a big-time boost to the lineup and would come at a relatively cheap price.
