Looking to recalibrate their rosters for 2026 and beyond, the Mets and Rangers pulled off a one-for-one blockbuster on Sunday night, flipping a pair of players signed to long-term deals. Outfielder Brandon Nimmo is headed to Arlington.
Statistically, Nimmo is a better hitter than Semien. The outfielder is coming off a season in which he swatted a career-best 25 home runs and slashed .262/.324/.436 over a career-high 155 games. Semien, meanwhile, has been in decline over the past two seasons; he posted a .230/.305/.364 line with 15 home runs and 62 RBIs in 127 games last year.
