Brandon Nimmo is going to be seen patrolling the Globe Life Field outfield soon.

At least that's what is being reported on Sunday as the Texas Rangers, according to sources, are going to send second baseman Marcus Semien to the New York Mets in exchange for Nimmo.

Both Semien and Nimmo have big-money contracts tied to themselves. The Mets reportedly are going to send the Rangers $5 million to help offset some of Nimmo's contract.

With all that detail out of the way, just what can Nimmo bring to the Rangers?

According to Rangers reporter Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, Nimmo was a first-round draft pick by the Mets in 2011. He's been with the major-league club for his entire 10-year MLB career.

Nimmo set personal bests with 25 home runs, 92 RBIs and a 50.2% hard-hit rate in 2025. Nimmo was 32 years old last season, too. With the deal pending, Nimmo joins a Rangers team ranked 25th in wRC+ (92), 26th in slugging (.381), and 22nd in runs (684) this past season.  

At this point, the Rangers have Wyatt Langford and Evan Carter as a couple of stars. Nimmo, though, adds a bit of experience and a solid bat to Rangers manager Skip Schumaker's roster. Nimmo bats left and throws right.

He has a .262 career batting average with 974 career hits. Among those are 135 career home runs and 463 career RBIs. Nimmo has a career .364 OBP and a slugging percentage of .438.

Nimmo's best season average-wise was back in 2021, when he hit .292 with a .437 slugging percentage. In the past three seasons, Nimmo has hit 20-plus home runs per season. That's some offense that Schumaker would dearly welcome in the middle of his batting order next season.

What Nimmo will do for the Rangers, beside his veteran leadership, is give the team a bat that can deliver in the clutch.

Of course, seeing Semien go might not sit well with Rangers fans. But Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young and Schumaker want to elevate the team back into postseason play. 

Nimmo will be looked upon to really deliver for Texas. With his $100-plus million left on a deal that he signed with the Mets, he's going to be expected to step up in a big, big way.

Nimmo signed his eight-year contract before the 2023 season and he agreed to waive his full no-trade clause, according to a source, MLB.com reported. He has $102.5 million remaining on that deal.

With all that money, Rangers fans want to see Nimmo really perform at a high level. That can also be said for Young and Schumaker, too.
