he was already a fan favorite before he joined the team
bruh one of my fav players this is sick
Just watched the Dave Martinez press conference. He said he pinch hit for Winker because of the pitcher’s handedness not because he knew he was traded. Shortly after that word spread. Martinez said he would talk to him after the game.
Cool. Mets needed an OF. Not the best defender but he’s a certain upgrade over Stewart (who I imagine with be DFAd) or Gamel.
Now go get a starter and a couple of relievers.
Edit: Winker also seems like a guy who has a personality for NY.
imagine his first AB and everyone waves lmao
i enjoyed rooting against that little shithead and now i’m happy that he’s our shithead, I think its gonna be good vibes with him. i hope he balls out with us
Give Winker a huge standing ovation his very first at bat.
This story writes itself.
Is the return not gonna come through until tomorrow? Probably not significant
Can’t wait for everyone to wave at Winker the first time he homers for us. It’s gonna be lit 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
didn’t this dude torch them every time theyy played?
I wonder if we’re going to put him in RF or move Nimmo there. Honestly, I wouldn’t be against swapping them back and forth depth on the dimensions of the park (with Nimmo always taking the harder to play corner).
Somebody *has* to get in his ear and get him to make his walk up song Bad Romance, or Bad Guy, or Bad Reputation, or something. That shit would be hilarious
I love Winker in a vacuum, think he’s a dog and has the exact vibe we want. Also obviously a very, very good major leaguer.
I also really like Tyrone Taylor, who I believe has shown up for us many times in the clutch. I also believe we should be shelling out for starting pitching and that’s our biggest need.
When Marte comes back, is Tyrone now our 5th outfielder? Does this relegate Bader to the bench?
Just not sure this is where we needed to invest this much. But I guess yet to be seen how much we did invest and how this affects where we go in terms of starters
Literally one of the few times I don’t look at my phone all day and Winker becomes a Met and Robert Downey jr is now Dr Doom. I’m mind blown right now 😂
Who else is just constantly refreshing to see who we gave up? Anyone have any guesses?
An hour behind this news… that was a surprise F5
wow this is unexpected and genius.
im so ready for winker hero arc
Just said “no” out loud at a bar lol
Love this!
Hell yeah, let’s ride
Ask for a Luis Robert Jr. and get a Jesse Winker. Meanwhile the Yankees make a marquee trade.
I don’t hate this move, but this certainly isn’t “going for it”.
God damnit NO
Could you imagine this guy going from Mets villain to Mets hero. I;m all for it bro.
We have come full circle, welcome friend
We’re living in a timeline where I’m happier that the Mets got Winker instead of Conforto. Imagine thinking that 5 years ago.
bring me Erick Fedde
Dude mashed at citifield. We know that we’ll enough. Hopefully he continues to do so wearing blue and orange
Dude is a competitor and I loved the fact that when he played against us he had grit. Perfect accusation. Welcome to NY.
He came into the stands after a day game in 2021. Was talking to someone maybe his parents. My buddy was in a Winker jersey and took a picture with him. he was really cool for the 15 seconds we knew him. Always made his villain arc a little more comical for us
