Stearns' First Strike: Nimmo OUT, Semien IN! Core Beheaded! | BT & Sal
BT & Sal dissect the shocking, confirmed trade of Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for Marcus Semien. Sal hails the trade as an "awesome move," proving the Mets are finally ready to build the right way and focus on run prevention, given Nimmo's declining defense, poor arm, and lower-extremity injuries. BT argues that the move was necessary to upgrade the defense and frees up the DH spot, making it mandatory for the Mets to now re-sign Pete Alonso to replace the lost offensive power. They debate the trade's immediate impact (Nimmo for Semien is a defensive upgrade at second base, setting up Jeff McNeil to be traded) and what the next move must be: acquiring a top outfielder (Bellinger or Tucker) to fill Nimmo's spot. The hosts praise David Stearns' "gutsy, bold" decision to move past the core's sentimental value.
