[Healey] I’ve heard 2 things #Mets fans are not going to like, I just want to say that they are from sources outside the Mets, The first is Jesse Winker may be close to a deal with the #Reds & Boras is telling teams that Pete is prepared to leave NY. #grainofsalt

Jesse Winker back in Cincy? Maybe?

Lol I doubt it. It’s Boras. Unless we are about to overpay for Winker, he’s not going to be a Red
I’m not sure he’d be at the top of my wish list. He smashes righties but that’s about it
Id rather remember him leaving on a good note
Why would we want Winker back lol
Wasn’t the Mets the team Winker waved goodbye too that one time when he was on the reds?
I wouldn’t mind Pete. Despite having a hitter’s ballpark, we’ve struggled with getting good HR hitters, which is a problem we shouldn’t have with this stadium.
Leave the Winker, take the Alonso
No
Only jersey I own is Jesse Winker so I’m a bit biased but let’s bring him back
I love Winker, but let’s not..
No
Please have Wink return to the Reds. He’s the one guy I was upset about them trading away.
I want winker back….. he’s a red!!
let him DH full time and it’s lowkey a nice snag
I don’t think Winker would be bad. It seemed like he had been playing pretty well, and he’s entertaining.
As far as Winker goes, I don’t see us needing outfield help. We got a good amount of them.
As far as Alonso goes, if CES is our 1B of the future, unless we need a DH, and I don’t know if he’d wanna only be a DH every day
Would he be the best option? No. Would I love to have him and his personality back? Yes!
Winker does fit the hitting profile that Krall says he’s looking for. Has good at bats, not a heavy strikeout guy and hits line drives.
The issue I see is I can’t imagine them putting Winker back in thr outfield, so this would have to be as a DH or learning 1B. I don’t see the Reds paying Winker much at all to fill those spots, considering they’ve already got Candy, CES and Steer (if they can find other outfielders) who can play those. Just hard to see the path for this one unless some other moves are incoming.
Winker would have probably ended up being a great signing/trade last year, but unless he’s still going to make like $2 million, he’s probably not worth it.
Jesse is one of my favorite Reds ever, I would love him back so much
Da Wink
Last thing the Reds need is another shitty outfielder who can’t hit lefties
We do need an outfielder, but unless winker is cheap and not the only move for the outfield I guess I’m okay with it
If wink is our only outfield acquisition I’m gonna lose it
Boras is a self interested blowhard who will say anything for leverage.
Should have kept him around, dont bring him back. Jesus Frank
