In the wake of Brandon Nimmo being traded, I went back and looked at previous rumored trades he was a part of for a special edition newsletter. It also has my thoughts about the trade. Hope you enjoy something a little different!

We are so lucky to have Stearns as our GM. Finally an adult in the room. It's so refreshing. (Although the lack of leaks isn't great for my newsletter 😂)
I still think David stearns is doing a good job! Not every off season is gonna have Flashy soto type moves! its gonna be sad to see nimmo on another team, but at the end of the day Nimmo had more years on his contract than semian and that was the main reason this trade was made! #Mets

Watching the trade reactions on X The Everything App would make you think the Mets traded Mickey Mantle in his prime

Exactly in the same spot.
Still wrapping my head around the Nimmo trade…I can absolutely make sense of it, but it feels wrong to do so

Initial reaction to this is... Wow
The Mets have made their first significant move of the offseason, as they're trading Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers for Marcus Semien.

The deal is one-for-one.

Happy Saturday #MetsSky! Why not grab some coffee and start off the weekend by reading about how the #Mets were "not bluffing" about wanting C Jonathan Lucroy in 2016? The rumored demand for him was quite high...

Interesting idea from John Harper at SNY. #Mets trade for Corey Seager and shift him to third. What do you think? sny.tv/articles/met...
Mets should make strong push to trade for Corey Seager
In what suddenly looms as a tantalizing opportunity for the Mets, Corey Seager apparently can be had in a trade with the Texas Rangers. David Stearns should be first in line to make it happen.

I buy the #Mets team set every year and while I think this year's design is better than some recent ones, I still love the 2003 design. It just screams *baseball card* to me.

ICYMI, Column 1: Pete Alonso’s departure wouldn’t quite be the civic travesty that Tom Seaver’s was 48 1/2 years ago. But it would still leave two injurious holes — one in many Mets fans hearts, one in the #Mets batting order. He needs to be brought back. nypost.com/2025/11/18/s...
All the reasons to make Pete Alonso the lifetime Met fans crave
We want him back. We want him to retire as a Met. We want it plain that “20” will one day hang from the roof at Citi Field.

Yeah, not great. Baseball needs such an overhaul with streaming.
Good morning #MetsSky. My earlier post below refers this article about MLB.TV becoming part of the ESPN's app. On the surface, it sucks for guys like me who love our teams & continue to shell out cash to see them. This can't be good for pure baseball fans.

Despite a near-5.00 ERA in 2025, Devin Williams is still an excellent arm to have in your bullpen. The Mets should make him an offer, no matter what happens with Edwin Díaz.
ERA is a liar sometimes.
A reminder that Devin Williams is great, actually!

Right decision for sure. Admit you made a mistake and move on.
Mets announce the addition of Nick Morabito to the 40-man roster with Frankie Montas designated for assignment.
