| Nats Trade Winker to Mets for New York’s #23 Prospect
With more dominoes likely to fall this week, the Washington Nationals traded Jesse Winker to the N.Y. Mets on Saturday night. Yesterday morning, we learned the return was Tyler Stuart, formerly the Mets’ #23 prospect and now the Nationals #16 guy. Stuart, who was drafted in the 6th Rd. of the ’22 Draft, had made 17 starts for Binghamton and posted a 3-7 mark with a pitcher’s slash of 3.97/3.28/1.25. The 6’9″ 250-lb northpaw turns 25 in October. He’s been assigned to Harrisburg. |
