ST. LOUIS — The New York Mets acquired outfielder Jesse Winker from the Washington Nationals on Saturday, adding a left-handed bat in their push for the playoffs.
Winker learned of the trade during the Nationals' 14-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night. The teams did not immediately release terms of the trade, which was first reported by ESPN.com.
"I was just kind of told during the game"
"Obviously there was rumblings and I was just kind of told during the game that I was traded," Winker said after singling twice and driving in a run.
