The Mets are bringing back one of their more charismatic players.

The team is re-signing outfielder Jesse Winker on a one-year, $8 million contract, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed.

Aside from his role as an extra outfielder, Winker is known for his electric celebrations in big moments —&nbsp;including <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/03/sports/jesse-winker-slams-helmet-after-extending-mets-lead-in-game-3/">a helmet-smashing scene</a> when scoring a run in Game 3 of the wild-card round against the Brewers.
