Folks, free-agent center fielder Brandon Nimmo is a popular man these days. It’s not a shocking development, though. After posting a 5.4-fWAR campaign with the Mets, he entered the open market as the clear-cut best option at his position.
There are plenty of teams not named the Mets who could also use Nimmo’s services in the outfield and at the top of the lineup. Teams like the Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies, and San Francisco Giants (if they don’t sign Aaron Judge) are just a few that have been connected to Nimmo. His market expanded this week when the Toronto Blue Jays traded Teoscar Hernandez to the Mariners.
