Like why the hell are we trading for a regressing 35 year old with 3 years left on his contract in exchange for your longest tenured player who had a career high in home runs and RBIs this past season? I get that Nimmo also isn’t what he used to be and has a lot of years left on his contract but I don’t see how this move helps the Mets Full disclosure I’m also just salty cause Nimmo is my fave player and I have his jersey
What in the flying fuck is this trade!?!? I have literally ZERO issue trading Nimmo off a career year.... But for Marcus Semien???? Like.... trade for some god damn pitching! Stearns, the genius, says Marcus Semien was the missing piece. Not the fact we were Bottom 5 in era in the 2nd half of the season. Its such a waste of a solid trade piece
this is not at all what he's saying lol its insane how much people have turned on Stearns after (1) bad year. This is a solid defensive upgrade.
He's a guy that leaves it all on the field. He's not a superstar, he's not even an all-star. He's a gamer though.
You couldn't simply get a high quality defensive 2b from free agency if thats all you want? SEMIEN is 35. This is, at best, equal in offensive production (Im being generous)....and my argument is if youre going to trade a guy like Nimml. You don't think yoh could have used him in a package to get a pitcher. Something mets are in desperate need of? Trading Nimmo is 100% okay. Just seems like a waste of a trade.
i mean it's november 24th lol, this is not the only move they're gonna make this offseason. i am confident they will address pitching with full force. i also think people are over estimating what nimmo's real value is. with regard to the free agent 2b; SECOND BASEMEN Willi Castro (29 years old, 3.5 WAR) Jorge Polanco (32, 3.0) Jose Iglesias (36, 2.3) Dylan Moore (33, 2.3) Ramón Urías (32, 2.0) Luis Rengifo (29, 1.5) Amed Rosario (30, 0.7) Nicky Lopez (31, 0.6) Brendan Rodgers (29, 0.4) Adam Frazier (34, 0.2) Thairo Estrada (30, 0.1) Coco Montes (29, 0.0) Cavan Biggio (31, -0.1) Kyle Farmer (34, -0.5) Ronny Simon (26, -0.6) Tyler Wade (31, -0.6) who on that list really excites you?
I think the fact that the Rangers fans here hate the trade as much as you means that all in all it’s probably a good enough trade
