Jesse Winker returned to the New York Mets on a one-year deal, looking to contribute significantly after the team narrowly missed the World Series in 2024. The Mets revamped their roster by acquiring Juan Soto among other players, which heightens expectations for the coming season. Winker acknowledges a desire for redemption following last year’s playoffs, emphasizing the urgency of competing for a championship. His role will likely involve corner outfield, DH, and bench work, as the Mets explore options for first base and bolster their relief pitching.
Winker stated, "For sure. Anytime you come that close to getting to the World Series, you're always gonna want to give it another shot. It's precious."
The Mets have added several key players, including Soto on a 15-year, $765 million deal, boosting their hopes for 2025.
