Hearing the news about the trade got me remembering this from a few days ago. I thought Ottavino was taking shyt, but maybe Nimmo wasn't as happy with his place on the team as he let on.
If run prevention is Stearns goal, it would be difficult to accomplish with Pete, Soto and Nimmo playing the field. I like Nimmo and he was a good Met, but out of the 3 he was the most replaceable. McNeil better be practicing with a 1st basemen glove. Only way I can see him on the opening day roster is as the defensive 1st basemen. OF, 2nd and 3rd won't have any spots for him.
It's also crazy how both deGrom and Nimmo played with Wright and ended up in Texas. I can't think of any other active players who played with Wright.
