ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers and the Mets have agreed on a trade that would send Gold Glove second baseman Marcus Semien to New York in exchange for outfielder Brandon Nimmo.

A person with direct knowledge of the deal confirmed the agreement on Sunday. That person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been finalized or announced. The same source confirms that Nimmo has agreed to waive a no-trade provision in his deal.

Nimmo, who has played all 10 of his big league seasons with the Mets, just completed the third season of the $162 million, eight-year contract he got after becoming a free agent for the first time after the 2022 season. The 32-year-old left-handed hitter is due annual salaries of $20.25 million each season through 2030.
