On an emergency episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo react to a shocking trade by the Mets, as David Stearns strikes a deal with the Texas Rangers to swap Brandon Nimmo for Marcus Semien.  The guys break down the what and the why of the trade, examine what the Mets are getting in Semien both offensively and defensively, and look ahead to the possible moves that might come next if this deal truly is a “first domino” of the offseason. Connor and Joe also discuss what this trade means for prospect Jett Williams, and look back at the legacy of Brandon Nimmo in New York, including a story from Joe about Brandon’s time in Brooklyn.
