US EditionMets Get Semien for Nimmo in Swap with Rangers
The trade addresses Texas's payroll cut and youth goals while New York aims to improve infield defense and clubhouse culture with veteran Marcus Semien.
- On November 23, 2025, the New York Mets acquired second baseman Marcus Semien from the Texas Rangers for outfielder Brandon Nimmo, ESPN reporter Jeff Passan first reported.
- Texas sought payroll relief and youth, prompting the Rangers to move Semien largely for financial reasons while the Mets pursued a clubhouse shakeup amid internal issues.
- Financially, Semien carries $72 million left on his contract over three years, and the Mets are sending $5 million to the Rangers to offset Nimmo's contract, Heyman wrote.
- The Rangers gain payroll relief and roster flexibility, giving them more room to address the rest of the roster while the Mets aim for leadership stability and infield consistency heading into the 2026 season.
- Nimmo waived his full no-trade clause, and both Brandon Nimmo and Marcus Semien have declining production and injury history that could affect their 2026 outlook.
