3/03/25	Mets veteran doesn't think of himself as 'villain'. Mets outfielder Jesse Winker has done some reflecting on why he's been labeled a villain in baseball. There came a point last season where in every stadium Winker played, he was met with loud jeers. “I don't know if I'm necessarily a villain,” Winker said, via Steve Serby of The New York Post. There's no better example of why Winker's been dubbed a villain than Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against his former team, the Milwaukee Brewers.

1/22/25	Jesse Winker Open to Playing First Base For The New York Mets. Last season's biggest offensive trade deadline acquisition, Jesse Winker, quickly went from former villain to fan favorite. Winker is now back with the New York Mets after signing a one-year, $7.5 million deal that can rise to $9 million with incentives. Winker brings value as outfield depth and as a left-handed bat with pop that can serve as a DH option with the right-handed hitting Starling Marte.

1/10/25	Mets $2 million fan favorite, former All-Star predicted to ditch New York for Pirates. In 2024, the New York Mets had some of the best team chemistry in franchise history. The Mets weren't expected to contend, but built a roster that made it to the National League Championship Series through low-cost free-agent signings and trade deadline reconfiguration. One of those trade targets, Jesse Winker, is left without a deal in early January. Winker bounced back from two rough seasons with a strong year split between the Mets and Washington Nationals.

1/07/25	Jesse Winker Reunion Viewed as Possibility For Mets. Many New York Mets fans likely expected that outfielder Jesse Winker would only be in Queens for the rest of the 2024 season when he was traded from the Washington Nationals on July 28. It seems that many members of the baseball community that the 31-year-old veteran will sign with another team, as a December 28 article from MLB.com asserted that he's a "realistic" free agency fit for the Cincinnati Reds and a January 6 article from Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter projected that Winker would be batting second for the Toronto Blue Jays on Opening Day 2025.

1/06/25	Mets Trade Deadline Acquisition Could Join AL East Team in Free Agency. One of the New York Mets' most intriguing acquisitions in 2024 was their trade for outfielder Jesse Winker a few days before the MLB trade deadline. This trade (which sent former Mets' No. 17 prospect Tyler Stuart to the Washington Nationals) was intriguing because Winker wasn't necessarily adored by the Mets' fanbase.

12/30/24	Washington Nationals Outfield Will Remain in Hands of Young Stars. The Washington Nationals essentially saw their top prospects list take over the outfield last season and they will now rely on those players once again. As a unit, the Nationals outfielders combined for a 104 wRC+, that would have made them a slightly above average group and they ranked No. 13 overall in MLB in that stat. A problem, though, is that some of the players doing some heavy lifting there are no longer on the team. Jesse Winker and Lane Thomas both account for 110 or more wRC+ and are no longer with Washington. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/nationals/news/washington-n...
12/28/24	New York Mets Have Some Interest in Bringing Back Former Mariners' OF Jesse Winker.

Benson has struggled with batting average (.223) and on-base percentage (.311), but he compensates with decent power and speed, tallying 25 home runs and 35 stolen bases.

11/21/24	Dodgers predicted to poach $2.4 million All-Star from Mets in free agency. The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series in 2024, but are expected to be active in free agency as they look to win back-to-back titles. The outfield is one area the team could look to add an impact player. While predicting every team's Opening Day lineup, Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter predicted that the Dodgers would sign New York Mets postseason star Jesse Winker. "The Dodgers can turn to some combination of Andy Pages, James Outman, Chris Taylor and top prospect Dalton Rushing to fill the other corner outfield spot, but adding a productive veteran such as Jesse Winker would help take some pressure off that group," wrote Reuter.
