Rangers Acquire Brandon Nimmo from Mets After Career-High 2025 Season

Brandon Nimmo has been traded from the New York Mets to the Texas Rangers in exchange for Marcus Semien. Nimmo, 32, spent his entire 10-year career with the Mets, where he was drafted 13th overall in 2011. He waived his full no-trade clause to facilitate the move. In 2025, Nimmo achieved career-highs with 25 home runs, 92 RBI, and 155 games played, batting .262/.324/.436. He is owed $102.5 million over the next five seasons from his 8-year, $162 million deal signed in 2022, with the Mets sending $5 million to Texas. The Rangers are expected to use Nimmo, an offensive upgrade, as their primary left fielder.
