Overview
- Nimmo, who met reporters in New York on Tuesday, said his November move to Texas was probably a baseball decision and dismissed talk of clubhouse issues.
- He said a call with Pete Alonso, who had not heard from the Mets during free agency, nudged him to waive his no‑trade clause.
- Since joining the Rangers, he is batting .300 with four home runs and 12 RBIs in 33 games, though right hamstring tightness kept him out Tuesday and he has avoided the injured list.
- The Mets' overhaul has stumbled, with a 13-22 start and Marcus Semien struggling at the plate since the swap.
- Trade terms include Nimmo’s $20.25 million annual salary through 2030, a $1 million assignment bonus for waiving his clause, and a $5 million payment from the Mets to Texas.
