The Mets and Rangers are working on a blockbuster trade that would send outfielder Brandon Nimmo to Texas and second baseman Marcus Semien to New York, a source told MLB.com’s Kennedi Landry on Sunday. The teams have not confirmed the trade.
Nimmo has agreed to waive his no-trade clause, according to a report from The Athletic. The 32-year-old outfielder signed an eight-year, $162 million contract with New York in December 2022. Semien, who signed a seven-year, $175 million contract with the Rangers in December 2021, does not have a no-trade clause.
