Brandon Nimmo was willing to trade Mets immortality for World Series chance with Rangers
NY Post
In a transaction that became official Monday, the Mets, Rangers and Brandon Nimmo all made trades.
Nimmo, who owned a no-trade clause, was willing to trade what might have become Mets immortality for what he feels is a real chance at a World Series with a team that wants him and is three seasons removed from lifting the trophy.
Sure, he said, he liked his odds of winning in Queens, but David Stearns had made it clear to him that Stearns felt the Mets’ best chances at a title involved this Nimmo-for-Marcus Semien swap being completed.
If Nimmo vetoed the trade, he essentially would be hurting the Mets’ own title odds.
If he accepted, he would be helping both sides.
Nimmo had played 1,066 games with the Mets, ranking 11th in franchise history with another five seasons left on his contract.
