Rangers and Mets Agree on Marcus Semien for Brandon Nimmo Trade, AP Source Says

The Mets traded Nimmo to improve defense and right-handed offense, freeing salary space and opening outfield spots, as part of a strategy emphasizing run prevention, team officials said.

  • On November 23, the New York Mets agreed to send outfielder Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for second baseman Marcus Semien after Nimmo waived his no-trade clause.
  • David Stearns has emphasized run prevention, making Brandon Nimmo the first big domino in reshaping the New York Mets after last season's playoff collapse.
  • Marcus Semien's 2025 numbers show a career-worst.230/.305/.364 slash line with 15 homers and a.669 OPS, while Brandon Nimmo produced a.262 average with 25 homers and a.760 OPS last season.
  • The move immediately opens a corner outfield spot and lets the Mets move on from Jeff McNeil while MLB must approve the deal since the Mets are sending $5 million to the Rangers.
  • Looking toward 2026, Semien's $26 million salary through 2028 could impact plans for top infield prospect Jett Williams, while Pete Alonso's return to New York faces increased uncertainty.
