The Mets and Rangers are in the finishing stages of a surprising one-for-one trade that would send second baseman Marcus Semien to Queens in exchange for outfielder Brandon Nimmo, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports. The Athletic’s Will Sammon reports that Nimmo has agreed to waive his no-trade clause to allow the deal to proceed.
More to come…
Ladies and jelly beans the stove has begun preheating
As a Mets fan I love it. Means more to come.
Watch Uncle Steve overpay for Schwarber and a big time pitcher. Maybe one newly posted from NPB. The problem is it’s only a matter of time before Soto is the DH
much more
As a White Sox fan I’m jealous of any team that actually acquires major league players.
One of these teams definitely fleeced the other. I’m just not sure which one yet.
I wonder what it’ll take to get him to waive it.
The 20% raise of moving to Texas probably
Less taxes in Texas.
wowza!
Aww nuts I was hoping it was gonna be just smoke, I hate to see nimmo go =[
One of the biggest hearts and soul of the team. Never thought I’d see him in another uniform
Really stings, I’ve followed him since the draft way back when, and he’s my age. It’s silly but I’m actually choked up.
Wow, that’s a big one. Mets definitely need a RHed IF bat and I hope that Semien has something left in the tank. Very surprised the Mets would deal Nimmo, who I thought would be a Met for life.
Will be really fun if doesn’t approve it
Never Remember: They wouldn’t be finalizing it without Nimmo’s consent.
Wow
So does this mean McNeil is on his way out, too?
Maybe he’s part of the deal?
Interesting. Curious to see who else is involved. So this likely means Seager is not getting dealt, although that always seemed unlikely anyway. Too bad, would have loved for the Tigers to take a run at him.
Interesting trade. Not much info yet, what is the difference in money going back and forth? Where do their contracts stand? Didnt both have a no-trade clause?
Mets fans are so cute this time of year…
Mets trade Nimmo who has been in the org for a while for a 35 year old declining 2nd baseman on a huge contract
Granted nimmo’s contract is also bad but I don’t understand the thinking for the Mets this is like the g-rod for ward trade
Massive trade. Love seeing these go down
