The New York Mets acquired second baseman Marcus Semien from the Texas Rangers for outfielder Brandon Nimmo and cash considerations, both teams confirmed Monday.
Semien has three seasons remaining on a seven-year, $175 million deal. The 35-year-old missed the final 5 1/2 weeks of the 2025 season due to a broken left foot. He fouled a pitch off the foot on Aug. 21.
Nimmo has five seasons left on an eight-year, $162 million contract. The 32-year-old waived his no-trade clause to accommodate this deal.
Semien, a three-time All-Star, spent the past four seasons with the Rangers and was a key cog on their 2023 World Series championship team. He had 29 homers and 100 RBIs while playing all 162 games in the regular season that year.
Last season, he batted .230 with 15 homers and 62 RBIs in 12
