Mets Trade Brandon Nimmo to Rangers for Marcus Semien

The Mets have traded Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers in exchange for Marcus Semien. Nimmo, who had five seasons remaining on his contract, was previously expected to be the Mets' everyday left fielder in 2026, having played only four games at designated hitter in 2025. This move creates significant aftershocks for New York's outfield plans, opening up possibilities for both left and center field positions.
