Willy Adames of the Brewers was in the parking lot ready for Jesse Winker of the Mets

Brewers star SS Willy Adames confirmed he offered to meet Mets DH/former Brewer Jesse Winker in the parking lot to resolve differences after Winker's two-run, Game 1 triple became a “chirpy” match on the pitch had come.

“I told him that when we were tweeting at each other,” Adames told The Post, confirming the good report from expert lip reader Jomboy.

“I was there [in the lot]” Adames added, saying Winker didn't show up.

According to sources, Winker was upset that Frankie Montas slapped him on the butt last Friday. When asked about the incident, Winker walked away, saying only, “Why?”

According to Jomboy (and essentially confirmed by Adames), after berating the Brewers and seeing Adames looking over, Winker kept repeating, “Whatever you want to do.” [about it]?” To which Adames replied: “I'll let you know in the parking lot after the game.”

Adames told The Post: “He just started yelling right at me. I will not give in in the heat of the moment. So we just chirped. I don’t know what he was angry about.”

The Brewers would like to bring back Adames, who will be a free agent, but understand the chances are slim. He is expected to make at least $200 million for his 32-homer season.

“I want to come back. I love them and they love me,” Adames said. “But we can’t control that. We’ll see if they want me.”

The Dodgers made a valiant attempt to trade Adames in the spring. LA and the Giants and Braves, who have also pursued him, are among the likely pursuers.
