Winker Returns to Mets on One-Year Deal 

Is Jesse Winker the key piece the Mets need to push them over the edge? His return solidifies their DH spot against righties, but is it enough? With Alonso still a free agent, are the Mets making a critical mistake prioritizing a role player over a power bat? What impact will this have on their lineup construction, and could this decision backfire if Alonso signs elsewhere? Is this a smart financial move, or a gamble that could cost them a championship? Let's discuss.

Winker had a solid bounce-back year, but is he truly a difference-maker? Is this a sign of the Mets front office getting complacent, or are they playing a deeper strategic game? Considering their competition, is this enough to put them in the World Series conversation?

Bold prediction: The Mets will regret not prioritizing Alonso. Winker is a solid player, but Alonso's power and presence in the lineup are irreplaceable. This move screams of short-sightedness. Am I wrong? Let the debate begin.
