What did Mets' Jesse Winker and Brewers' Willy Adames yell at each other? Here's what they said.

During an intense opening game of the postseason for the New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers, two former teammates exchanged words.

Milwaukee’s Willy Adames and New York’s Jesse Winker played together during the 2023 season. Winker, a former MLB All-Star, played for just one season with the Brewers before he signed with the Washington Nations. He was traded to the Mets at the deadline.

But when matched up against his former team, emotions ran high for Winker. The ESPN broadcast showed a very heated back-and-forth between the Mets outfielder and the  Brewers infielder.

While some lip reader have tried to interpret what was said in the heat of battle, it is always good to hear directly from the players.

Unfortunately, however, both have seemed fairly tight-lipped so far.

When asked what Adames said to him, Winker said “nothing” and did not look comfortable. He added:

“I don’t really want to speak on it. I just want to focus on the game tomorrow.”

This is a non-answer from Winker, but likely a smart strategy to not add more fuel to whatever fire may exist there.

Adames was also asked about what happened.

“I don’t know what was going through his head. He just started saying some stuff and I just said something back. I think that’s the kind of player he is and that’s what it is … That was surprising that he would say some stuff. But I guess that is part of his personality. It was just a little bit of a surprise to me.”

Although his answer was a bit longer, he did not reveal much either.
