Overview
- Speaking in New York on Tuesday before the Rangers faced the Yankees, Nimmo said his offseason move was about baseball and added he wants the Mets to do well.
- Nimmo said he talked to dozens of people before waiving his no-trade clause, including Pete Alonso, who told him the Mets had not contacted him about a deal at that point.
- He rejected reports of a clubhouse rift, saying he saw no chemistry issues and that the move reflected front-office choices for both clubs.
- Nimmo, hitting .300 with four home runs, has dealt with right hamstring tightness, was out of Tuesday’s lineup, and is avoiding the injured list for now.
- The Mets have stumbled to 13-22 after reshaping their core by trading Nimmo for Marcus Semien and later losing Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz in free agency.
