ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan reports New York and Texas are finalizing a deal that would send infielder Marcus Semien to Queens in exchange for outfielder Brandon Nimmo. It’s a deal that seemingly came out of nowhere, as neither player was considered a prime trade candidate this winter.

Passan went in-depth on Kodai Senga being heavily available as well as name drops of usual suspects Luisangel Acuna, Brett Baty, and Mark Vientos. Longer-tenured Mets Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo were said to be available, too.
