The New York Mets sending Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers in exchange for Marcus Semien is one of those blockbusters that will have far-reaching implications. The New York Yankees and Cody Bellinger are two of the most directly impacted outside of the Mets' and Rangers' organizations.
The Mets have long been expected to be among the Yankees' chief competitors for Bellinger's services, and that was before they opened a massive black hole in left field. Kyle Tucker is now in play for them as well.
But there's another potential impact this deal will have on the Yankees, and it's one that could be seen as a positive development.
