Over the past several days, we’ve touched on a bunch of players who would be good candidates for contract extensions now that the Mets are set to be owned by Steve Cohen when his approved purchase of the team closes. And today we continue that series with another outfielder: Brandon Nimmo.
Drafted by the Mets out of high school in Wyoming in the first round all the way back in 2011, Nimmo made his major league debut in 2016. He put up 80 respectable but unexciting plate appearances in his time in the big leagues that year, but his major league career took a step forward the following year.
