The New York Mets have acquired outfielder Jesse Winker in a trade with the Washington Nationals, adding another productive bat to one of the best lineups in baseball.
The trade, which was announced Sunday morning, sends the 31-year-old Winker to a New York team that since June 3 has scored the most runs in baseball and hit the second-most home runs. In that time, the Mets have climbed from 11 games under .500 to 55-49 and in possession of the second wild-card spot in the National League.
The National received minor league right-hander Tyler Stuart in the trade.
