Wong was traded from the Mariners to the White Sox on Thursday, Mike Curto of the Tacoma Rainiers broadcast team reports.
EDGE Analysis
The return for the Mariners was unclear, though the move opened up a needed roster space for Triple-A Tacoma. Wong has recorded 109 plate appearances this season with Tacoma and maintained a .315/.422/.500 line. However, the 28-year-old has earned only 18 big-league plate appearances during his career and will likely remain organizational depth with the White Sox.

The Mariners reassigned Wong to minor-league camp Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite offering multi-position versatility in addition to possessing 39 games' worth of prior MLB experience, Wong never looked to be a serious threat to make the Mariners' Opening Day roster. Wong stole 41 bases in 47 attempts at Triple-A Salt Lake in the Angels organization in 2022, but he otherwise struggled at the dish (.670 OPS over 565 plate appearances) while playing in hitter-friendly parks in the Pacific Coast League. He'll likely head to Triple-A Tacoma to begin his time in the Seattle organization.

Wong agreed Monday with the Mariners on a minor-league contract, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seattle marks the fourth organization for Wong, who was drafted by the Rays in 2013 before he had stints with the Giants and Angels over the past two seasons. The 27-year-old utility man saw big-league action in 2019 and 2021, but he spent the entire 2022 campaign with the Angels' Triple-A affiliate in Salt Lake, slashing .260/.340/.330 with three home runs and 41 stolen bases. Wong will likely be ticketed for Triple-A Tacoma to begin his time in the Mariners organization.

The Angels reassigned Wong to their minor-league camp Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Wong received 66 plate appearances over 32 games with the Angels in 2021, but he won't break camp with the big club this season after re-signing with Los Angeles this offseason on a minor-league deal. The 27-year-old is expected to fill a utility role at Triple-A Salt Lake for the majority of the upcoming season, though his versatility could make him an option for a call-up if the Angels' infield or outfield depth is tested at any point.

Wong signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Wednesday that includes an invite to major-league spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Wong was let go by the Angels in late November after he appeared in 32 games with the club in 2021 and slashed .167/.194/.233 with six RBI and three runs. Even if he joins the major-league club at some point in 2022, he's unlikely to have a significant role.

Wong was released by the Angels on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wong lost his spot on the Angels' 40-man roster Monday, and he'll now be free to seek out other opportunities as a free agent. The 26-year-old appeared in 39 major-league games across the last two seasons and hit .167 with six runs and five RBI.

The Angels designated Wong for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Wong will cede his spot on the 40-man roster to another utility type in Tyler Wade, whom the Angels acquired from the Yankees on Monday. Over his 66 plate appearances with the Angels in 2021, Wong slashed .167/.194/.233 with zero home runs, six RBI and three runs.

Wong was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Wong was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Wong was demoted to Triple-A on Friday but will quickly rejoin the major-league club. The 26-year-old has a .458 OPS in 20 games this season for the Angels and should fill an infield utility role.
