In a shocker of a trade, the Texas Rangers have dealt Marcus Semien to the New York Mets for Brandon Nimmo. There has been substantial belief the second baseman's role with the team is not guaranteed and now we have clarity on that.
It is notable that Brandon Nimmo had a full no trade clause that he gave permission forwent in order for the trade to go through. He likely was looking for a new spot and will likely have a guaranteed starting role with a top tier spot in the lineup.
The Rangers have had a dilemma regarding Semien ever since the World Series win.
