Mets trading Brandon Nimmo to Rangers for Marcus Semien in stunning move to jump-start offseason
NY Post
Out with the old and in with the older.
In an effort to improve defensively, the Mets finalized a trade Sunday night that sent Brandon Nimmo to Texas for second baseman Marcus Semien, according to industry sources.
Semien, 35, still has $72 million remaining on a contract that runs for the next three seasons.
Nimmo, who turns 32 in March, is still owed $102 million on a contract that extends for the next five seasons.
Nimmo waived his no-trade clause, allowing the deal to proceed.
The Mets will also send $5 million to Texas.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
