Do we really need to relitigate how volatile relievers are, particularly in their first season in New York? And what did Nimmo remind you of then, if Marcus Semien is a broken down player?

Semien has much left in the tank as Nimmo and will provide the same value, with a position far easier to upgrade vacant. Yes I do believe they are essentially the same as a reliever, and it is a flip of a coin whether they are fine-good (Edwin 24, Williams 25) or elite (Edwin 25, Williams 23-24).

His problems he's made are that he's allowed 3.5bWAR from a should be DH leave? Because Williams and Semien are the same value as Diaz (who chose to leave) and Nimmo. But als, the Milwaukee Brewers since 2017. Jose Iglesias' career 2024-2025. Just two quite simple examples.

What had the team over the last 8 years done that gives you any reason to think something good was coming?

And that's a rather massive step after what happened yesterday

On a similar note, could you have imagined what 2029 would have looked like with Nimmo, Soto and Alonso all needing to DH, and Lindor fighting his way through SS for 162 games?
