One of the Mets' trade deadline acquisitions and best playoff performers will be a free agent.
enter a pivotal offseason, one of the questions they need to answer is who will be their primary designated hitter.
When the Mets traded for Winker at the deadline, he initially struggled with his new team by recording a .616 OPS and just two extra-base hits in his first 17 games. However, after hitting a pinch-hit, walk-off home run against the Baltimore Orioles on August 21, the lefty broke out of his slump and logged a .735 OPS and 111 wRC+ over his last 27 games of the year.
It is still worth mentioning that Winker's extreme splits against right-handed and left-handed pitching limit his use as a full-time player, in addition to his poor 2022 and 2023 seasons raising questions about whether he can sustain the promising form he showed in 2024.
