Mets get Marcus Semien prediction that makes Brandon Nimmo trade look a lot worse originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The New York Mets made a ton of changes to their roster this past offseason, and many did not work out at all.
While Luis Robert Jr. and Jorge Polanco are hurt and on the injured list, Marcus Semien has stayed healthy and in the lineup. But he's been one of the worst players in the Majors and has been a net negative for the Mets this season.
Their trade for Semien using Brandon Nimmo with the Texas Rangers is bad enough already, and The Athletic's Jim Bowden shared a prediction on Semien that would make this trade look even worse, as he believes Semien's decline is for real and will continue. Marcus Semien's decline is for real, per ex-MLB GM "My best guess: In decline phase," Bowden writes. "...
The Mets should have seen Semien's decline last year with the Texas Rangers and not traded outfielder Brandon Nimmo for him. ... The three-time all-Star still plays Gold Glove defense, but the offense is not coming back.
