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.
For New York Mets fans, the trade that sent outfield Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers also came with some clear signals about the team’s priorities and the way they’ll do business this offseason.
