Marcus Semien Traded to Mets After Gold Glove Season, Offensive Struggles

Marcus Semien was traded to the New York Mets for Brandon Nimmo, concluding his Rangers tenure. In 2025, the 35-year-old second baseman won a Gold Glove but struggled offensively, slashing .230/.305/.364 with a 97 OPS+ and 89 wRC+. He missed the final six weeks of the season and posted a career-low 16 doubles. Despite offensive woes, he still recorded 2.1 fWAR and 3.3 bWAR in 127 games. His departure marks a new chapter for the Rangers.
