The New York Mets outfielder has played a key role in the team’s postseason run after the team acquired him from the Washington Nationals before the MLB trade deadline. Winker had a terrible 2023 season as a member of the Brewers, and when the Mets faced them in the playoffs, he was met with loud cheers from the fans. It’s safe to say he’s not a Milwaukee fan. When asked about this, Winker responded via The New York Post, “Speaking of Milwaukee. I will hate them forever.” “It’s part of sport, these fans, they can react to you any way they want,” he continued. “They pay for the tickets. They are the lifeblood and the lifeblood of our sport… but I will hate the city of Milwaukee forever.”

In 2023, Winker played in 61 games for the Brewers and posted a dismal .199/.320/.247 line, while hitting one home run and scoring 23 runs. He earned $8.25 million after Milwaukee traded second baseman Kolten Wong to acquire Winker and infielder Abraham Toro. After the past two years, it’s safe to say that the feeling of hatred between Winker and Milwaukee is mutual.
