So, #Mets fans: What’s your singular, favorite Brandon Nimmo moment? I’ll start: His no-doubt, 3-run bomb in Game 161 in Atlanta in ‘24. Sweetest part? Him circling the bases and — uncharacteristically — dissing Braves’ CF Michael Harris, staring him down and mocking his tongue hanging out gesture!😂

#Mets fans, meet our new 2B, Marcus Semien. Here's an interview he did six months ago with a podcaster. Seems to love up to his rep as a solid guy. Watch and listen for yourselves:

Sure would be nice if he could be our setup man if we re-sign Edwin Díaz.

#Mets fans: Your take on the Nimmo trade? Mine:
1. Can't be judged in isolation -- MANY more moves ahead
2. If it means importing Steven Kwan to play LF, cool
3. If it allows us to sign Cody Bellinger to play LF, or CF, cool
4. If Semien's range and glove helps Pete at 1B, if he returns, I'm down

Fellow #Mets fans: not making the postseason makes it feel so much longer than 2 weeks since the MLB season ended. Yes, there's still 3 more months of off-season left, but are you also starving for our team to add and subtract players, to cleanse the lingering stench from June 12 to September 30?🫢

MLB trades and signings are starting to really pick up. This one is very interesting: A 13-game winning RH starter last year is traded straight up for a RH, OF bat who last year hit 36 HRs.
