The Nationals make their second move heading into Tuesday’s trade deadline, shipping the veteran outfielder to the Mets.
Jesse Winker celebrates his third-inning RBI single Saturday, perhaps his final hit as a National. A short while later, he was traded to the Mets, pending a physical.
A few minutes later, the logic behind the move was something else entirely: The Nationals, in the midst of a 14-3 win over the Cardinals, had dealt Winker to the New York Mets. The trade is pending a physical, according to a source familiar, and the return for the outfielder is not yet known. That hit was the first of four hits in a row surrendered by Matthew Liberatore. Juan Yepez followed with a two-run single before James Wood roped a double to center. Keibert Ruiz followed with a three-run homer to make it 9-0. Ramirez added an RBI single in the Nationals’ four-run ninth.
