The Mets made a shocking move on Tuesday, sending down fan-favorite center fielder Brandon Nimmo and calling up right-handed pitching prospect Corey Oswalt. While some fans are excited to see how Oswalt might fare in the big leagues, the internet rage you’ve heard on Twitter all afternoon revolves around the player who was demoted. Nimmo hasn’t had anywhere to play since Michael Conforto returned to the lineup last week, but he was off to an awfully hot start, going 3-for-9 in six games with four walks and just one strikeout. Add to that an impressive Grapefruit League campaign, and it looked like Nimmo was ready to make an impact in the majors.
