One name appearing in offseason New York Mets trade rumors a little too often for our liking is Brandon Nimmo. The young outfielder had a breakthrough campaign in 2018 featuring an abundance of hit by pitches, more home runs than we expected, and a firm place in our hearts.
Nimmo is a different brand of ballplayer. He hustles on every play and has a positive effect on the culture of the locker room. Trading him would do a different kind of damage to the Mets than it would if they were to move anyone else on the roster.
