He’s going help.”
“There’s some guys here that we need to take care . we’ve been riding pretty hard. J.D. Martinez, Iglesias, even guys like Vientos…so he’s gonna get a lot of opportunities, especially against right-handed pitching.” Winker was an All-Star in 2021 with the Cincinnati Reds and has bounced around since then, playing for the Seattle Mariners, Milwaukee Brewers, and Nationals before landing in Queens. This season in D.C., he was slashing .257/.374/.419 with 11 home runs and 45 RBI.
