Baseball Isn’t Boring
We're Ranting And Raving About The Big Mets/Rangers Trade

Yeah, I mean, the first time I was really starting to think about it was obviously when... By the way, stop right there.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

No, no, all good.

But the first time Adam Adovino really had a controversial take and, of course, went everywhere, finally.

I was telling Rob a couple days before, I was like, if anybody posts this online, this could be done.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

But he first said, he was like, Brandon Nimmo is very into everything the media says.

So when the media started putting out like, hey, Mets are making him available.

And they said he approached Andy Martino in a hallway and was like,

Baseball Isn’t Boring

you put Verdugo over me in the Mets-Yankees combo of like the best player at every position.

And he like got in his face.

So he's like, he's not a fan of when his name gets floated out there for no reason.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

So I think that was kind of the beginning of the end because it was like, all right, he might start getting disgruntled and then that's kind of pointless to have.

so then they make the trade.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
We're Ranting And Raving About The Big Mets/Rangers Trade

It seems it is.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

It definitely is offense for defense.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
We're Ranting And Raving About The Big Mets/Rangers Trade

Cause Simeon's obviously going down defensively, but he, or offensively, but he want to go glove.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
We're Ranting And Raving About The Big Mets/Rangers Trade

Brandon MMO is definitely the better hitter, but his glove is, he went from like potentially the Mets future center fielder, which is what they actually paid him for to become in like a left fielder.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
We're Ranting And Raving About The Big Mets/Rangers Trade

That was kind of clogging up the left field spot, which Soto was clogging up the right field spot.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

So they want a more flexibility there.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
We're Ranting And Raving About The Big Mets/Rangers Trade

Uh,

Baseball Isn’t Boring
We're Ranting And Raving About The Big Mets/Rangers Trade

The one thing that does make no sense to me is these lineup predictions they put out in November where they're like, man, the Mets just traded Nimmo for Simeon, and now we got Roni Mauricio as our starting DH.
