Massive trade news hit the baseball landscape on Sunday as the Mets dealt outfielder Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for infielder Marcus Semien. Both players are in the midst of massive contracts and playing for contending teams, making a swap of this caliber especially rare. The Rangers added an outfielder immediately after non-tendering Adolis Garcia, and the Mets added another right-handed power option to their infield while saving a bit of money in the long run. With Semien, Jeff McNeil, Francisco Lindor, Mark Vientos, and Brett Baty all on the roster, and the team still interested in bringing back star first baseman Pete Alonso, the Mets could now explore trade possibilities for one or two of these infielders, and the White Sox could line up well.
