On Sunday, the Rangers and Mets pulled off an out-of-nowhere 1:1 trade that swapped Marcus Semien and Brandon Nimmo. Texas wanted to cut payroll (which they only sorta-kinda did, as Nimmo has a lower AAV but more money left on his contract overall) and just let go of outfielder Adolis García, while the Mets had a little bit of drama with Nimmo, who waived his no-trade clause, and badly need Semien's Gold Glove-winning infield defense.
It's just the first in what should be an offseason full of blockbusters for New York, who experienced perhaps the most embarrassing second-half slide in the history of the game this season.
