BREAKING: Mets re-sign former All-Star OF
The New York Mets have secured an important depth option for the 2025 season by re-signing outfielder Jesse Winker. According to multiple reports, including Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Winker agreed to a one-year, $7 million contract, with opportunities to earn additional bonuses.
Acquired midseason last year, Winker quickly proved his value to the team despite a rocky history with Mets fans. He won them over during the postseason, batting .318 with two triples, a home run, and four RBIs, while also injecting energy into the squad. His fiery play included stirring tensions with the Milwaukee Brewers during their NL Wild Card series.
While the Mets continue pursuing one of their marquee free agents, it’s uncertain how Winker’s return impacts those efforts.
Regardless, the team is taking no chances and remains focused on strengthening the rest of its roster.
