BREAKING NEWS: Brandon Nimmo traded to the Rangers for Marcus Semien
to their longest tenur player and someone who owner Steve Cohen referred to as a member of their Fab 4. SNY MLB insider Andy Martino reporting that the Mets are sending Brandon NMO to the Texas Rangers in return for infielder Marcus Semian. NMO has spent his entire 10-year MLB career with the Mets who drafted him 13th overall in 2011 out of high school in Wyoming. So, in return, the Amaz get Semian, a three-time all-star, two-time Gold Glove winner, including last year at second base. The 35-year-old hit at least 20 homers all five full seasons from 2019 to 2024, but hit just 15 in 127 games last year. He is also reportedly he’s reported deal $26 million each of the next two seasons and then 20 million in 2028. While NMO is has a deal 20.5 million every year through 2030. We are now joined by SNY MLB insider Andy Martino who confirms this story. And Andy, let’s just, as you mentioned and reported last week, Brandon Nimble was on the block. How did this deal with Texas go down? Well, it was kind of an oldfashioned baseball trade in that way with Texas Aman in a sense that it was need for need. Uh the Mets, as David Cerns has been very clear publicly, have been looking to improve their defense and the Rangers from their end uh have been looking uh for a different offensive approach. So it it it matches up there uh in that sense. And you know, more broadly for the Mets, it gives them a chance to improve their defense really at two positions because Simeon, although off his peak as a hitter, is still an elite defensive second baseman. And that’s what really excites the Mets, even though there is still upside in that bat. Not just from the Mets perspective, but I’ve talked to some Texas base people who think Simeon has a couple solid years left as in him as a hitter. But this is really about what he does for you at second base. And then defensively, if you look at the outfield, uh, prior to this trade, the Mets had Janoto and Brandon Imo locked into the corner outfield positions for years to come. And neither is an elite defender at those positions. So now they have the flexibility at one of the corners either to go internal with one of their young athletic players like Carson Benj or Jet Williams into the outfield mix sooner than later or perhaps if things break a certain way and it it in the offseason they could look at a Cody Bellinger for immediate impact in the outfield. But really, you know, Bellinger or not, this was about moving on from that NML contract and improving the defense for this coming season. Uh, you led me to my next question because obviously this news is not a surprise after the rumors that were out there less than a week ago, but he was a mainstay here with the Mets that they committed to financially just a few years ago. So, uh, what sort of happened other than just sort of Janoto arriving that made Brandon NMO quote unquote expendable for the Mets? It was he was a tough player to trade. Uh I I would I would almost think that if MET people were able to speak publicly about this and they can’t cuz this trade isn’t official yet, but um expendable would probably be too strong a word for them in a way like it breaks their hearts to trade Brandon NMO in a lot of ways. Uh somebody who really has deep relationships at every level of the organization going back to Sandy Alderson’s very first draft. if you want to talk about a mainstay. Uh but it’s really just a baseball decision where you have an aging uh uh player who’s only well, as as as is the case with the rest of us in our lives, is only going to age in one direction. And for his particular job, NMO, he’s just that contract is just really long, as you said, through 2030. And Simeon’s only a three-year contract. So, uh, that just it just made sense from a shorter commitment and better defense next year. But it hurts them to lose NMO as a person. Uh, as you mentioned, this team, this helps the team immensely defensively. He’s still coming off a Gold Glove season, but his offensive numbers, Marcus Sime, and I’m just referring here to have dropped off. So, they’re willing to take that drop off in offense, but NMO uh, even though he might have declined in the outfield, was still providing some pop and with the home run. So, how do you think they will uh you know, you know, you know, fill that offensive role that they might be losing in the run production with NMO? It’s it’s so early in the offseason. There’s so many moving parts, Aean, that right now the Mets, I can tell you for a fact, they don’t have a specific plan. Like, this domino fell, so we’re signing this guy because NMO’s gone. It’s not like that. It’s like over the course of this off seasonason there’ll be enough moving around with the roster where where they think they’ll be in a good place offensively by spring training. Again, whether they take a big swing at a Bellinger, uh whether they bring Pete Alonzo back, uh whether they do something that we don’t foresee at this point, they they think they have a lot of time to to shore up that offense. And again, it’s just about defense being such a core value for Sterns uh that uh they saw an opportunity to get defensively better and didn’t need an exact blueprint to how you uh how you replaced the most bat in the lineup. That that’s not what this was about. It wasn’t the first domino in a whole plan set of moves. It was just the first domino in an offseason that could take them in a lot of a lot of different directions. Yes, no doubt. We were anticipating a busy offseason and as you just said, this is the first domino to fall. Andy Martino, thanks for joining us here on SNY. And as we mentioned, NMO has been a constant for this franchise over the last decade, playing over a thousand games while also scoring the sixth most runs in franchise history. He signed an 8-year extension after the 2022 season and said, quote, “It feels good to put this jersey back on, and no, it’s not coming off.” He also had a full no trade clause, which he waved to complete this trade. We are now joined by the voice of the Mets here on SNY, Gary Cohen. And Gary, we’ll get to the baseball side of this deal in just a second, but obviously you’re around this club every day and for Brandon NMO that means a decade. Uh sort of how surprised is not the word, but sort of what’s your feeling to know that Brandon NMO is no longer a Met? Well, it’s always hard to get rid of the guys that you’ve known from the time that they first signed their contract. I mean, I I remember meeting Brandon as an 18-year-old uh back when he was drafted out of Wyoming in 2011, and uh he was a delightful presence. There’s there’s no question that his personality will be missed above all else. He spent 15 years in this organization, the last 10 at the big league level. Um as you mentioned, he’s the longest tenur Met and now he is no longer. Now he gets reunited with Jacob Deg Grom in in Texas. And it’s um it’s a sad day from that standpoint. It’s a very interesting day from a baseball standpoint as as Andy was pointing out because there are so many threads to um what this means for the Mets going forward. But it’s it’s sad to to see somebody who was so wellliked and so well respected and never uh faltered in that for 15 years um leave the organization. He is a a special met. he will always be one of the um of the most gentlemanly uh ball players that has ever come through here. So, from that standpoint, he will definitely be missed. Uh just one more along those lines. As we’ve discussed many times, chemistry on a baseball team is fleeting. The roster is always different from year to year, so it’s never the same. But how do you think not having Brandon NMO in that clubhouse could affect this team’s chemistry? Well, as you say, every year it’s different. And I remember after 2024 with such a special group, um, everybody in that clubhouse basically said the same thing. It would be great to to roll it back again, but that’s just not realistic. Every year is different. And, um, the clubhouse changed from 24 to 25, and it’ll change from 25 to 26. I I will also add that everything I’ve ever heard about Marcus Seamian um tells me that he’s going to be a breath of fresh air in that clubhouse because he is a very well- reggarded person in his own right. Um so that certainly um uh you know will change the the nature of things just by his presence rather than Brandon’s. But um I I I think that you know you try and bring in high character people and I the Mets have traded one and they’re bringing back another one. So let’s now focus on Marcus Simeon. How do you think his presence and especially his glove I guess improves the Mets in 2026 and beyond? Well, he won a gold glove at age 34. So that’s pretty impressive. He just turned 35. So, you know, he’s a little more than two years older than Brandon, but he seems to have aged defensively better. Brandon did not have a good year in the outfield last year. Um, this gives the Mets more flexibility. Um, you take away five years of NMO and you bring back three years of semi and then again Marcus is a couple of years older, but um, at least defensively, the aging curve seems not to have hit him as hard. Now, you know, offensively, how it impacts the Mets is going to be fascinating because um, the last couple of years have not been kind to Marcus. He played through a very difficult foot injury last year. Um, but it also does something else. The Mets have been um trying to get more right-handed, and they do that with this trade, and that has impacts beyond just bringing in your everyday second baseman. It affects Mark Ventos’s status on this team because he was valued as a right-handed bat. It it obviously affects Jeff McNeel’s status on this team because he’s the incumbent second baseman, although he does have positional flexibility. But you know what this does more than anything else is it opens up left field and that um that presents a whole plethora of possibilities whether that means a Carson Benj or a Jed Williams either from opening day or eventually or the possibility of signing a Kyle Tucker or a Cody Bellinger at the top of the free agent market. So, um, as as Andy said, it’s only the first domino to fall, but there are so many impacts beyond this that, um, will give David Sterns a little more flexibility as he moves forward as it improves the Mets defense. Yes, and it’ll be interesting to see what this leads to. And of course, it will be a busy offseason. Gary Cohen, thanks for hopping on here for the coverage of the breaking news with the Mets trading Brandon NMO. Now, from one person who’s around the team every day to another, Steve Gelbs joins us. And uh Steve, Brandon Nmo is the longest tenure Met. He’s been here since 2015. You’ve covered his entire career. Uh give us a sense what it’s going to be like for you to walk into that clubhouse at Port St. Lucy and uh City Field and not see Brandon NMO. Yeah, it’s going to be very bizarre, Aean. And uh I’ve I’ve texted a little bit back and forth with Brandon just thanking him for everything over the years. And um you know, he’s he’s one of those rare not just rare athletes, but rare people. um just as as good a person as I’ve ever been around in my life. Uh so happy, so joyous and and for me, you know, the two things that will always stand out about Brandon were one, you you you see a lot of guys enter the league with a lot of optimism and joy and and then as the years go on, maybe they get a little jaded and and things happen and they change. and Brandon is the exact same guy now that he was when he he first came into the league. So that that in and of itself is a rarity in in sports. The second thing though is I think we we sometimes forget the level of work that Brandon had to put in to squeeze out every possible ounce of talent that was in that that body. Um Brandon NMO every year I mean I would joke with him every spring. Okay, what what’s it this year? What are we working on this year? What do we spend the offseason improving? He would always pick a weakness and he would just work his tail up to get better at it. Whether that was hitting lefties, whether that was uh improving his defense enough in center field to to be resigned as a center fielder um and be able to play every day center field at one point. Whatever it was, he just really was one of those old-fashioned throwback grinders. and he was drafted as someone that was raw. Didn’t have any high school baseball in Wyoming when he when he was drafted. Um was drafted a spot ahead of Jos Fernandez and that was something that stuck with him for a while as he took a long time to to get to the majors compared to Fernandez and certainly to to peak uh the way we’ve seen over the last number of years. But I just I always respected the way that he worked and so it’s going to be it’s going to be really strange not having him around. And um and listen, he uh he is somebody that I will always always always be rooting for wherever he goes. Now it’s Texas, but uh but wherever he goes in the future. Uh one more along those lines. He clearly was a leader on this team. I know there had been talking, you know, there had been some conversations last spring about making a a captain for the Mets, but I guess they didn’t need one, but certainly he was a spokesperson and a leader. So how do you think his absence will impact the clubhouse? I think and Gary spoke about this as well. It will be an absence, but everything that you hear when you speak to people around the league is that the Mets are certainly losing a great person and leader, but they’re gaining one as well at Marcus Simeon. So, uh, you know, sometimes I mean, you never know every year how the mix is going to be in a clubhouse. And Brandon was uh one of the great, like I said, great people, great leaders, but you know, sometimes this core has been around and been together for a long time. And sometimes it needs to be shaken up. I don’t think Brandon, his personality or his play needed to be subtracted, but um sometimes it’s good to just change up the mix. And again, you’re bringing in someone who is very well regarded in Marcus Semian. So, uh, yes, you will miss Brandon NMO in that clubhouse, but it is not as if they subtracted NMO and brought in somebody who has the opposite reputation. They brought in somebody who has an equally sterling reputation for that and uh and hopefully that that contributes in a positive way to the 2026 Mets. All right, we’ll see how that turns out for the Mets. And Steve Gelb, thanks for joining us here on SNY. Is again, breaking news. The Mets have traded Brandon NMO to the Texas Rangers for Gold Glove second baseman Marcus Simeon. And now for more on that, we welcome in Todd Zal. And Todd, I want to start on from a pure baseball sense with you on this one. How do you think the Mets got better after making this move for Semian? Um, I think that remains to be seen. I’m not quite positive yet that they have gotten better. I think Marcus Semian is a very, very good player. Um, but you’re also getting a guy that’s 35 years old, has a couple years left on his contract, his gold glove caliber, was a gold glove winner last year, but his offensive numbers dipped a little bit. Um, but I think as far as you’re looking at it from a holistic standpoint, you’ve got a guy that can play a very, very good quality second base. He could fill that spot there. I know run prevention and especially defense up the middle is something that this Mets team has been looking to improve upon. Um but at the same time, this is not a lock that he’s going to be that same productive guy. Um you know, you don’t see a lot of guys uh getting moved for at 35 plus years of age. So, um I think it remains to be seen. I do think that it’s an absence to not have Brandon NMO in that locker room, but I also think that his uh willingness to move that no trade clause and and take this trade tells me that there’s something maybe um even beneath the surface, under the radar um about that clubhouse that uh that maybe he knows better than we know. Hammond. Uh Todd, you led me to my next question because obviously you had a a long tenure career, but with many different teams, so getting traded, I’m sure, was, you know, part is part of life in the major leagues. I was a little surprised, you know, that he I thought he’d be tougher to move because of the no trade. But, you know, as you mentioned, maybe he figured if they didn’t want me here, why don’t want to be at a place where I’m not wanted? But as someone who knows uh Brandon Imo well, uh were you a little surprised that he ultimately waved the no trade clause? Yeah, I was, Aean. And I think the reason that I was surprised is because um if you get to this point in your career, you’ve never put the World Series ring on, you want to make sure that you’re going to an giving yourself the best opportunity to do that. I think that anybody around baseball over the last four or five years recognizes that with Steve Cohen at the helm and David Sterns um as the president, this team is not going to take anything less than um postseason and winning opportunities and going to do everything they can to make those happen. So, as a player, maybe sacrificing a little bit of that possibility to win uh when you have the ability to block any trade was a little bit surprising. But I think, you know, it goes to what I was saying um initially, Aean, and that is that I think this clubhouse was a bit of a mystery. I think Brandon is a guy that has always been um an upfront voice to the clubhouse, a voice of reason, a solid um guy, a homegrown guy that brings a a kind of perspective in that clubhouse. And you just got to wonder if there’s something in that mix that made him feel like he had a better chance somewhere else. If that’s the case, then I think the Mets are looking at um other issues and other holes that they’re going to have to fill uh to fulfill what they’ve, you know, set out to do, and that’s to win a championship. Yeah, that chemistry in the clubhouse has definitely been something people have whispered even loudly about the last two or three years. But uh you know, now as we sit back and analyze what’s next, you know, you know, as Gary mentioned, uh there’s a thread coming up here. Todd, you sit back, you know the Mets needs, you know what’s out there. What do you think this now opens up for David Sterns’s next possible move or priority? Well, that’s a great question and I I think, you know, initially just reacting to it, I had heard some, you know, of the rumors about Brandon and I just figured it wasn’t going to happen because of the things that I just mentioned. This tells me that there’s um, you know, maybe some other underlying things that have to be addressed. And I think some of that is that glue, that heart, that uh sort of pulse of the the Mets that I think was missing last season, I think has shown up and gone away over the last three or four seasons. Um so maybe there’s going to be a look to try to fill that void. And we could talk about the Jose Glaciius of the world or Max Scherzers of the world. I think Jesse Winker was a guy that was made to fill that role last year with all the injuries. Um he wasn’t able to be that glue. So, I think that’s one issue, but I think secondarily, this opens the possibility to go try and get good defensively in center field and maybe have an option left field that could be, you know, is it Cody Bellinger a guy that’s on the list or is Kyle Tucker a guy that’s on the list? I think there, you know, you open that possibility for David Sterns to go look to fill this with some guys that you wondered if they brought him over, how they were going to make it work with Brandon in left and uh and Sodto in right. All right, so this is his first chess move for David Sterns this off seasonason. Now we sit back and wait and see what’s next. Todd Zal, as always, thanks for hopping on for our breaking news coverage of Brandon NMO being traded. So now from the ball field in the studio to the front office point of view, we welcome in Jim Duket. And Jim, what sort of flexibility does this now give the Mets payroll-wise? Well, you know, I think when you look at it on the long term, I mean, they’re saving almost 30 million bucks, right, over over the length of the contract. Brandon’s contract was going to be up in five years. So, you know, I think, you know, freeing that up certainly helps. You’re not necessarily, you know, worried as much with Steve Cohen as the owner about the the dollars, but it does gives you the flexibility when you’re talking about the declining years. And you know, Brandon is certainly you started to look at his on base percentage was starting to decline a little bit over the last couple even though he’s a over 350 on base percentage in his career as a Met. So, you know, I think that you kind of keep that in mind. You saw maybe a little different step backwards on the defensive side as well. So, I think all of those come into play when you’re trying to make a deal like this. They also didn’t have a lot of flexibility. If you’re going to try to change the roster around a little bit, there are a lot of guys that you don’t have the ability to move, right? And so Brandon was the one that still had plenty of value out there on the marketplace as as you could see. Texas was looking for some offense and and a really good idea of the strike zone. So I think all of those kind of play there’s like a almost like a perfect storm. Simeon’s defense has already been talked about. It’s a significant upgrade at second base. Uh and you know I think captures what they’re trying to do certainly in the middle infield. So, I think that flexibility uh financially, the flexibility of the roster, I think those are all things you look at as a general manager knowing that this is the first move of many this winter. As we heard Andy say, this was not an easy move for the Mets to make. Certainly, it’s not probably going to be a popular move because Brandon Imo is such a popular player here in New York. But to also trade someone who is producing offensively to get better defensively, uh how tough a move do you think that was uh for David Sterns to pull the trigger on? So I you know I I’ve heard him talk a lot about this run prevention and you know it it is it was definitely real like listen this past year they they were below average defensively in four positions on the field. So they had to get better here and this really helps them at you know that position certainly helps them you know in the ability to do it in left field as well or right field by the way you I’m just speculating but they could move Juan Sodto who’s played a lot of he’s played over 400 games they could move him to left field if they had a significant upgrade on the right field side. Uh, you know, I’m not necessarily saying that’s what’s going to happen here, but that does give them some flexibility in that regard. But, you know, I think with with all of that, you know, you have to be awfully careful when you’re moving around these parts, bringing in guys who cannot handle New York. We’ve seen this time and time again. Right now, Sam’s a guy who’s been in the league a long time. You know, he’s a guy that has only been in the American League, though, so there will be a little bit of a transition there. He was dealing with some injuries from last year, too. So, you know, it’s it’s it’s not that easy to go from, you know, even though you see a lot of inner league now going from the American League to the National League just historically. So, there are some things there early on. It’s quite the different personality. Simeon’s a little quieter than Brandon. Brandon was always accessible and a go-to guy, but I, you know, that that kind of the addition and subtraction. So, the addition of defense, but the subtraction of the offense for me is going to be, you know, where where is the line right now? How much more are they going to subtract on the offensive side to really upgrade on the defensive side because they got to have both. You got to you got to have a good offensive balance um you know, and a good defensive balance and they were out of whack when you look at that offense and defense from last year. All right, Jim, let’s focus on that line now. And you’re going to be the first one. I’ve wanted to ask everyone this question, but you’re going to get it. So, let’s read the tea leaves. If they improve defensively at second and maybe in the outfield, does that mean they can settle for more offense and less defense at first base and one Pete Allonzo? How does this move, you think, impact the Alonzo sweep stakes for the Mets? So, I I don’t subscribe to the the the opinion that Pete was was a a big subtraction at first base. Defensively, if you look around the the game, yeah, he was maybe below average when you look at some of the metrics. And there are some other ones where he’s, you know, the way he was picking any throws that were in the dirt. Uh, to me, he was one of the best. So, you know, you can get by with a guy like that over there at first base. Certainly, um, if you’re going to improve and be above average at third, which would mean that I think Brett Batty would have the inside track. Lindor has to pick up, you know, his defense at shortstop. It took a little bit of a step backwards. Seamian, as we just talked about, that would be a solid infield there, you know, if they signed Pete. Um, and then you know the configuration in the outfield. You got to look at a plus defender in center field. So is going to have to get better whether he’s in right and left and then the next outfielder. So I do think there’s a spot for Pete for sure. Um, you know, and you know obviously you can rotate in that DH spot, but the guys that I think are more in jeopardy would be the I think we just talked about there whe it was McNeel was Vientos that that group of of players. You start to wonder, you know, where the playing time is going to be next year. you know, as you start to see some of these moves by David Sterns. Yep. And we will continue to wait for them the rest of this offseason. Jim Duket, thanks for joining us here on SNY and our breaking news coverage of Brandon NMO being traded. And now it’s going to get a little bit louder as we say salutations and welcoming Salata. And S, I know from doing this show with you, what do we talk back now 30 years? But uh you’re not often an emotional guy. you’re not big into the homegrown thing and you know the Pete Alonzo home run record-breaking thing with the Mets, but still this was the longest tenur Met, a very popular Met. What was your immediate reaction when you learned that Brandon NMO was no longer on your team? Yeah, my immediate reaction was this is a great trade to make the baseball team better. I could say the same thing that everybody else said and I personally I had the chance to interview NMO for my radio show before the season. Got to know him a little bit. I think he’s a great guy. So, it’s obviously sad to see a long tenure Met go, but what what are we in the business of being friends here? Are you trying to build a better baseball club? This makes the Mets better. It’s as simple as that. Anybody who’s not looking at this trade in that manner is playing checkers and not chess. The Mets needed a big move like this, clear one of those guys out from that core to make them better, make them more flexible to make big moves. It’s not about NMO’s offensive numbers versus Simeon’s offensive numbers. It’s about getting rid of a player who was becoming a liability in left field, who was inconsistent offensively, unreliable at times with I know he’s a great character, all those things, but he just wasn’t a Simeon’s a better baseball player. Bottom line, Simeon’s a better baseball player and he fits the Mets better. So, don’t look at the offensive numbers. Look at who’s a better baseball player, who is a better fit, and now what the Mets could do moving forward without Brandon NMO clogging up left field. We’re still friends though, right S. It’s not about friends, but you and I are still friends, right? Uh, sure. Okay. Uh, let’s go back because, uh, Todd Zal discussed that maybe there’s something, uh, you know, underneath the surface here about the chemistry, something we’ve discussed about this team over the years. Do you think why do you think we reached a point here where David Sterns probably said, “Okay, it’s time to break up this core.” I don’t think it’s a bad chemistry thing. Certainly when it pertains to Brandon Nemo, he was, to me, he was the true captain of this team. Certainly one of the leaders of this team. I just think it comes down to flexibility. You in my mind, Aman, you couldn’t have a world where both Brandon NMO and Pete Alonzo are still on the Mets next year and they’re better defensively. And if I see that, I would imagine David Sterns also saw that. Pete, which bat would you want to invest in? NMO or Allonzo? Okay. Clearly, it’s Pete Alonzo. So, if that’s going to be the case and you want to have him play some DH, well, what does NMO project as? A left fielder who’s not a good defensive player who’s going to need some time at DH, especially to stay healthy. So, it’s an obvious one to me that this also means it’s more likely Pete Alonzo comes back. I don’t think this had anything to do. Now, I don’t know. I’m not in that clubhouse. I know some things, but I don’t know about that. I would think that when you trade NMO, a high character guy. That’s not about a clubhouse thing. I think that’s more of a baseball move on the field. And I’d love to see somebody tell me how this doesn’t make the Mets better opening things up. Obviously, many more moves to come, but they needed a big move like this to get their off season started. All right. As you mentioned, many more moves to come. The other guys we’ve had on have kind of alluded to it. This would make one to think that they’re also looking to move McNeel and Vientos because they don’t have spots for him. How easy do you think it will be to move those two guys? And Luke, Aean, we actually talked about this a week ago last Sunday, and you asked me, who do I think is more likely to be back next year, NMO or Alonzo? And I said it was Alonzo. And everybody would say, well, it’s unlikely. He’s got the no trade. He’s making a lot of money. It it when the Mets traded Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander away, that shocked the world. So, I’m not shocked by the NMO deal. I would certainly not be shocked by McNeel or Vientos. And I wouldn’t just like look McNeel coming back as a bench player is not the worst thing in the world. I would have moved on from him, but I don’t need him to start second base. And now the Mets don’t need that either. He could be a versatile piece, a useful piece off the bench. If not, they move him. Same thing with Ventos. Ventos could be maybe a bat off the bench, maybe a right-handed bat platoon at DH, but again, they can move on from him and maybe be better off. This was the first of what I would expect to be many in overhauling a team that has not been good enough since 2022, but specifically last year, winning just 83 games, missing the playoffs. The first move of many, and obviously, it’s going to be a completely looking different roster for the Mets in 2026. Salakata, thanks for joining us here on SNY. And that’s going to do it for our coverage of breaking news of Brandon NMO being traded to the Texas Rangers for Marcus Simeon. We’ll have much more coming up, of course, on Sports Night at 11. Thanks for watching and we’ll see you then. Yeah. Heat.

Noooooooooooo!!!!!😢
Freeing up contract money (Nimmo) and making room for Kyle Tucker.
Cant stand that hook-nosed Stearns.
The mets have enough infielders trade nimmo for another infielder!!!?!?!?!,what about trading Baty or mcniel or mauricio? 3 3rd basemens,like 3 2ndbasemen they need to trade that mess of infields for a solid centerfielder
WOW….
Wah wah.. Cry cry but this is what needed to happen. Now let Alonzo walk and trade McNeil and Vientos. Then we might be on a track towards winning in the future.
15:24 “remains to be seen”…..that’s what they say about glass coffins too.
I like Nimmo and sorry to see him leave. The only thing I can say is that this group failed terribly last season so I can't be very critical of any moves David Stearns makes.
It's pretty clear that David Stearns want's to wipe the board clean with any player associated to any previous regime. He's Probably stuck with Lindor but if he could move or let go any other player including Alonso and Diaz, he'd do it in a heartbeat, because HE HAS to be the man, even when hits hits and misses have him hitting .200. Let's see what he does with the rotation and the bullpen because those will probably be the decisions that make him successful or just another ego driven failure.
7:53 “everything I’ve ever heard about Marcus Semien is going to be a breath of fresh air.” -The same POS who called Daniel Murphy a “Net Negative” while he was having a legendary postseason.
It also explains why republicans often seem loathe to highlight the massive corruption on the democrat side at all levels(city government, state, federal). They also take in about 10-20% of the theft according to elon, and they rely on democrats to initiate the vast majority of the money siphoning schemes that they hop onto themselves
GREAT TRADE, Stearns. Gonna miss you, Brandon, and wish you all the best, but like Sal said… Marcus is a better baseball player, and we're gonna need players like him to WIN!🏆✌🏿 LFGM!!!
Nimmo peaked and is on the downside production wise, plus he has a bad contract, he also was the same guy that struck out like 30 times during a bad stretch during this past season, he is also injury prone, slow and has 1 of the worse outfield arms in MLB. Good Met for his career but really glad they moved on.
Clearly none of the guys here knows anything about Semien. If he were as good as you thought, why would Rangers trade him 2 years after they won the world series with him? As a Rangers fan, I was once thought Rangers needed to cover probably more than half of Semien's salary in order for anyone to take him… He is just THAT bad…His stubbornness was something that Bochy even couldn't fix. He set really bad examples for young players in the clubhouse to go against the hitting coaches. Good luck, Mets.
Ok …………………………….🤔……………………………..🤨………………………….
It’s not a mystery in the clubhouse
Soto is the CANCER
This better lead to Cody coming…
Mets give up on Brandon for Nimmo !!! Sad news ! 🗞️ Got watch the next news 🗞️ to see what’s up ⬆️ … it looks like Brandon Nimmo is the Escape Goat for the bad ending the Mets had this year! Say it isn’t so? It’s sacrificial lamb 🐑 of the Fan base and the Mets players! I know is a business but not good business! It’s cruel business! Too much money will do that! No heart 💜 and money makes it justifiable! Everyone gets justified! Sad day in Mets history! It really stinks ! No matter what reasoning is used it’s shameful! Double jeopardy! No Baseball ⚾️ standards at all! How can anyone believe in anything? Amazing!
Its not true
One of the worst Mets trade of all times. Nimmo is absolutely loved by Mets fans!
Bye bye Nimmo we need winners! Nice guys finish LAST The setting: On July 6, 1946, while Durocher was managing the Brooklyn Dodgers, a reporter asked him about the rival New York Giants and their manager, Mel Ott.
The full quote: In response, Durocher pointed to the Giants' dugout and said, "The nice guys are all over there, in seventh place".
The popular version: Later, journalists condensed and distorted Durocher's comment into the memorable line, "Nice guys finish last". Durocher later embraced the maxim, even titling his 1975 autobiography Nice Guys Finish Last.
Lacota doesn’t baseball. How the hell did he get his job?
