The departure of outfielder Brandon Nimmo and the arrival of second baseman Marcus Semien mark the beginning of a new strategy for the team.\n\nStearns explained that the change responds to the need to improve the team&#8217;s performance, which failed to qualify for the postseason after a disappointing second half of the 2024 season.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>&#8220;We recognize that what we did last year was not enough and repeating with the same group was not the right thing to do,&#8221; Stearns said.<\/p>\n\n<cite>David Stearns, Mets General Manager<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nSemien, 35, arrives to strengthen the team from the right side of the plate. Although his OPS decreased last season, Stearns trusts his ability to contribute to the team&#8217;s success, highlighting his defensive skills and base running.\n\nThe arrival of Semien also opens opportunities for other players, such as Jeff McNeil, who could have more playing time in the outfield and possibly at first base, depending on how the team&#8217;s moves develop in the offseason. The situation of Pete Alonso, currently a free agent, and closer Edwin D\u00edaz, also a free agent, are also key issues.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>&#8220;We would love to have Edwin and Pete back. They are great Mets players,&#8221; Stearns commented.<\/p>\n\n<cite>David Stearns, Mets General Manager<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nStearns also assured that the team has the necessary resources to build a competitive team, including the possibility of making more signings in free agency.\n\nThe general manager expressed his gratitude to Nimmo, who agreed to waive his no-trade clause to facilitate the transfer. Nimmo is under contract until 2030, while Semien has three years remaining on his contract.\n\nNimmo&#8217;s popularity among New York fans was an important factor in the decision, although the change was ultimately chosen.\n\n&#8220;It was something we had to consider. That&#8217;s part of this. It makes decisions like this a little more difficult than they would be otherwise,&#8221; Stearns concluded.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mets Shake Up Roster: Semien Arrives, Nimmo Departs The New York Mets&#8217; general manager, David Stearns, has announced significant changes to the roster, promising not to repeat the previous season.
