2025 Fantasy Outlook
Winker is a polarizing character on the field and in the clubhouse. He was an All-Star with the Reds in 2021 when he hit .305 with 24 homers, but in the years since he's bounced around from the Mariners to the Brewers to the Nationals to the Mets. There have been rumors that his boisterous antics may have worn thin with his teammates, although he seemed to fit in well in Queens, even if his numbers during that time weren't all that great. Childhood friend Francisco Lindor publicly endorsed Winker, which could help him return to the Mets in free agency. Winker, now 31, has always hit for a high average and OBP, but he has only reached 20 homers the one time. The 14 steals last season were a total surprise and should not be counted on again.

Re-ups with NYM
The Mets agreed to terms on a contract with Winker on Thursday, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.
ANALYSIS
Joel Sherman of the New York Post says it's a one-year, $7.5 million deal that could reach $9 million if Winker hits incentives. Winker had a solid bounce-back showing in 2024 between the Nationals and Mets, collecting a .764 OPS with 14 homers and 14 steals during the regular season before adding another long ball and a 1.168 OPS in 10 postseason contests. The 31-year-old should see fairly regular reps against righties between designated hitter and left field.

Winker struggled in 2022 for Seattle with a .688 OPS, and he was even worst last season after being shipped to Milwaukee with a .567 OPS. He played in just 61 games for the Brewers due to injuries and said his struggles stemmed from the recoveries of multiple surgeries last offseason, but two straight poor campaigns can't be ignored. The veteran slugger was an All-Star for the Reds in 2021 with a 143 OPS+ and is still only 30 years old, so there's still plenty of runway to turn things around. Winker landed a minor-league contract with Washington during the offseason, which is probably an ideal landing spot in terms of potential playing time in 2024. A spot on the Opening Day roster is realistic with a decent showing in camp.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reunion with NYM possible
The Mets re-signing Winker is "very possible," Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.
ANALYSIS
It sounds as if a reunion between the two parties will become likelier if Pete Alonso doesn't re-sign, as Winker would be part of an attempt to replace Alonso in the aggregate. Winker put together a nice bounce-back season in 2024 between the Nationals and Mets, posting a .764 OPS with 14 homers during the regular season before clubbing one more long ball and collecting a 1.168 OPS in 10 postseason contests.
