Mets deal OF Brandon Nimmo to Rangers, Marcus Semien to NY

The New York Mets turned some heads on Sunday when they kicked off their offseason with, well, a blockbuster move of sorts.

Per several sources, New York will send outfielder and fan favorite Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers. In return, the Mets receive veteran infielder Marcus Semien.

Nimmo, who turns 33 a day after Opening Day, hit .262 and set new career highs with 25 homers and 92 RBI plus a 114 wRC+. He has spent his entire career with the Mets and should be Texas’ starting left fielder in 2026. Nimmo is also durable, having appeared in at least 150 games for four consecutive seasons.
