Mets reportedly land outfielde...

Jesse Winker is on the move again.

The New York Mets struck a deal to trade for the Washington Nationals outfielder on Saturday night, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. As long as he passes medical evaluations, Winker will now head to his fifth team in the last four seasons just ahead of the trade deadline Tuesday.

The Nationals confirmed the deal the next morning, revealing their return for Winker would be pitching prospect Tyler Stuart, a 2022 sixth-round pick who currently holds a 3.96 ERA in Double-A. At a listed 6-foot-9, he is one of the tallest players in baseball.

Winker signed a one-year, $2 million deal to join the Nationals this past offseason, and he’s been on pace for his best campaign since he made the All-Star team in 2021. Winker has a .253/.372/.417 slash line and has 44 RBI and 11 home runs this season in 100 games with Washington.

The Mets hold a 55-49 record headed into Sunday’s series finale against the Atlanta Braves. They’ve won six of nine coming out of the All-Star break, too, and are just a half-game back from the Braves for second in the NL East standings and a half-game ahead of the field for the final NL wild-card spot.

The Nationals sit seven games back of the Mets in the division standings with a 48-56 record entering a matchup with the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday afternoon.

The MLB trade deadline is 6 p.m. ET Tuesday.
