"Nimmo, 33 in March, is a somewhat surprising trade candidate due to the many complications surrounding a potential deal. The veteran has spent all ten seasons of his MLB career in Queens and has a no-trade clause. Nimmo would have to agree to any trade, which would naturally limit his suitors. While hardly an albatross, his contract isn't exactly appealing, either."
"Nimmo has been generally productive throughout his time in New York but has watched his numbers fall off a bit over the past two seasons. Since the start of the 2024 campaign, he's slashed a combined .244/.326/.418 with 48 homers and 52 doubles, a 22.7% strikeout rate against a 9.8% walk rate, and a wRC+ of 111. He's been worth 5.8 WAR according to Fangraphs and 5.1 WAR according to Baseball Reference over the past two years."
The Mets entered the offseason after missing the postseason and with Pete Alonso headed to free agency. Two roster members, outfielder Brandon Nimmo and right-hander Kodai Senga, are available for trade. Nimmo will turn 33 in March, has spent ten seasons with the Mets, and holds a no-trade clause that would require his consent for any deal. Nimmo is under an eight-year, $162 million contract with five years remaining and just over $101 million left to be paid, which would likely require the Mets to subsidize salary to facilitate a trade. Nimmo's offense has dipped modestly and his defense has declined toward average.
