by

One of the movements of the New York Mets in free agency was the hiring of Jesse Winker for one year and $7.5 million dollars. After playing 44 regular season games in 2024 with the Queens franchise and being a key player in the playoffs. Winker recently had a small press conference via Zoom in which he talked about what’s coming up in the season with the Mets. And he affirmed his commitment to the New York organization by 2025. “After the year ended, I made it pretty clear that I wanted to stay.”Winker explained. “At the beginning of the offseason, the free agency process… I feel like there are different phases, right? And I would say that after Christmas it started to gain momentum and the conversations started to get more serious,” the player commented on his signing process with the Mets since free agency.

Well, with the arrival of Juan Soto for right field and the permanence of Brandon Nimmo for left field, Winker’s playing time could be reduced in 2025. However, the left-hander has made it clear that he is willing to help the team in any role that his manager Carlos Mendoza asks of him. “I definitely feel comfortable. “As I said, I will be ready for whatever they ask of me.”he emphasized. Even Winker is open to covering first base for the Mets in the absence of this position. Well, Pete Alonso, starting first baseman in recent seasons, remains a free agent without reaching an agreement with the organization. “I definitely felt more comfortable at first base two years ago. Until then I hadn’t really played there, but it was definitely a position where I felt like ‘man, maybe I should have been playing this a long time ago.’ At least have it as a tool in your bag. So yeah, I definitely feel comfortable there.”Jesse explained. Winker has never played a regular season game at first base.but saw some time there during a minor league rehab assignment in 2023 while with the Milwaukee Brewers. The player himself He stated that last season there were some discussions with the team staff about him playing first base.. And recently Andy Martino reported that if the Mets did not reach an agreement with Pete Alonso they would look for an internal solution for the first baseman. This could be move Mark Vientos from third to first base and rotate with Ronny Mauricio, Brett Baty and Luisangel at third base. Although a Winker at first could open a better range of options for the team.

Fernando Guerrero tells new details about his retirement

by

The renowned Mexican referee Fernando Guerrero decided to tell the reasons why he formally retired of the fields as he is considered one of the great figures of arbitration within the Liga MX and especially in the Aztec nation. During an interview offered for TUDN, the whistler explained that he was no longer being considered by the high command of the Referees Commission of the Mexican Football Federation (FMF), this after stopping receiving matches to dispense justice and subsequently the retirement of their FIFA badges. “I am leaving because it is a matter of dignity, when you are in a place where you are no longer required.”“When they don’t give you matches and explanations, I keep waiting for the answers from the people on the Commission,” Guerrero said. “Sometimes you don’t like a person to express their points of view, but they were the ones who held the reins of Mexican arbitration. They didn’t give me games and they took away my badges… but I’m leaving for dignity,” the whistler added in his statements. Finally, Fernando Guerrero maintained that many of the decisions currently made in the FMF Referees Commission are visceral and are not based on a logical foundation that favors football. “I believe that it is not the correct word for manipulating allocations, they are simply decisions that they make. Sometimes I saw them as very visceral and not thought through, but there are times when they are not prepared to listen to a person talk about situations that can be improved. I have that taste in my mouth of why things cannot be said as they should be, I should have been politically correct and I wasn’t,” he said. “Sometimes your superior doesn’t like it when you speak frankly about what needs to be corrected and I think I should have held on a little longer and found another time to make suggestions about what was happening,” the referee concluded.

Where? Does a man’s word no longer exist, does it not exist today or am I out of date at 70 years old?he stated in his statements when analyzing the situation that Liga MX has been experiencing in the last two tournaments. Ricardo Ferretti also maintained that he received a large number of offers from teams while he was in charge of a club; Despite this, he rejected each of them because he had a commitment to lead the team he had signed with to exploit all their sporting qualities in order to turn them into champions. “I rejected teams while I was under contract and they spoke to me and were better than what I had”he added, highlighting that his word with the clubs’ board was much more important than monetary gain.
