Mets and outfielder Jesse Winker agree to 1-year contract, AP source says

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Jesse Winker and the New York Mets have agreed to a one-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday, perhaps a signal the team doesn’t expect to re-sign slugger Pete Alonso. Winker was acquired by the Mets from Washington on July 28 and the outfielder batted.243 with three homers and 13 RBIs in 44 games for New York last year. The 31-year-old corner outfielder could get plenty of plate appearances at designated hitter for the Mets next season along with Starling Marte, after the club signed right fielder Juan Soto to a record $765 million, 15-year contract in free agency. Carullo will receive the Mets Hall of Fame Achievement Award in a ceremony before the July 19 game against Cincinnati, the same day New York inducts former captain David Wright into the club’s Hall of Fame and retires his No.
