Jesse Winker is on the move again.

The New York Mets struck a deal to trade for the Washington Nationals outfielder on Saturday night, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Winker will now head to his fifth team in the last four seasons just ahead of the trade deadline next week.

It's unclear what the Nationals will receive in return.

Winker signed a deal to join the Nationals this past offseason, and he’s been on pace for his best campaign since he made the All-Star team in 2021. Winkler has hit .253 and has 44 RBI and 11 home runs this summer in 100 games with Washington.
