On November 23, the Mets finalized a trade that sent longtime Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers in exchange for infielder Marcus Semien, in a rare one-for-one swap of veteran MLB players.

The New York Mets missed the postseason last season, and they need to make some big moves in free agency to avoid this kind of disappointment again next season.
