The New York Mets made the first major move of the offseason on Sunday when they swapped second basemen with the Texas Rangers, sending them Brandon Nimmo in exchange for Marcus Semien.

The Mets and Rangers continued the early offseason trend of trading major leaguers for other major leaguers in an exchange of two aging ones with multiple years remaining on their deals.

The Mets are finalizing a deal to send Nimmo to the Rangers for second baseman Marcus Semien, multiple sources confirmed on Sunday evening.
