Marcus Semien has had a few days to ponder what it will be like taking the right side of the infield at Citi Field since he learned of trade negotiations between the Mets and Rangers last Friday.

The Mets have signed RHP Nick Burdi to a minor league deal, per his MLB transactions page.

The tone was set after a surprising move that sent outfielder Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for second baseman Marcus Semien.
