The New York Mets are re-signing free-agent outfielder/designated hitter Jesse Winker to a one-year contract, per multiple reports Thursday.
The New York Post reported the contract is worth $7.5 million guaranteed, with an additional $1.5 million possible in incentives.
The deal is pending a physical.
Winker, 31, played 44 games with the Mets last season after being acquired at the trade deadline from the Washington Nationals for minor league right-hander Tyler Stuart.
With the Mets, he hit .243 with three home runs and 13 RBIs after batting .257 with 11 homers and 45 runs driven in during 101 games in Washington.
In the postseason with New York, Winker batted .318 with four RBIs in 10 games.
Battling injuries the two previous seasons — 2022 with the Seattle Mariners and 2023 with the Milwaukee Brewers — he hit just .219 in 2022 and .199 in 2023. He signed a minor league deal with the Nationals before the 2024 season.
Winker spent the first five seasons of his career with the Cincinnati Reds, making the National League All-Star team in 2021.
In 755 career games, Winker has a .262 average, 620 hits, 95 home runs and 324 RBIs.
