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

It's just kind of funny because it feels like ever since I stopped the initial thing, I've been reading all this stuff.

SMY is breaking news coverage.

They're talking about, like, well, here's why it would happen.

Then I've kind of come around on it being like, okay, if that means adding an outfielder that's not as shitty as Brandon Nimmo in left field, so be it.

But in the interim, I was like, Marcus Simeon's 35.

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

Granted, he's good defensively, but his bat is falling off a cliff.

Brandon Nemo just had his best offensive season, I think, overall.

So it was kind of like if you're just looking at it strictly that player for that player, I was like, this is a dumb trade.

Well, the other part of it, which he didn't really get as in-depth in, but he was just saying like the whole, everybody was saying like, oh, Lindor's our captain.

He was another guy that was like, eh.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

I don't know if I said that.

There you go.

I did find it ironic, too, that Nimmo's ended up going to the Rangers after being a lifelong Met along with DeGrom.

And apparently he consulted DeGrom about like, so what do you like?

I think it's, I think Simeon's 25, or no, Nimmo's 25.

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

Yeah, because he was 9-182, so I think he's now played four of those, something like that.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

Well, no, they stunk offensively.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

They got rid of Adoles Garcia, bring in Brandon Nimmo.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

I mean, it could be worse.

They had Sam Haggerty going out there for extended periods of time, which was crazy to me.
