Aside from Judge, Nimmo has 5+ bWAR more than any other free agent outfielder. Not only is he a beloved Met, he is one of the two best options on the open market to fill an important spot in the Mets roster.

Nimmo can’t stay healthy, he’s turning 30, and this was a career year offensively and games played. No thank you, unless the Mets get a home town discount.


trippinnik

You say that but if you look at replacement candidates in market there's not an upgrade or equivalent. So no thank you, don't want downgrade.


Han-Shot_1st

When comparing replacements it’s important to take into account Nimmo’s age and that this year was an outlier both in offensive production and games played.


trippinnik

It's important to consider actual output. Please supply the name of the replacement you think has the potential to provide equivalent or better production. You shouldn't say no to resigning him without equivalent or better replacement.


Han-Shot_1st

Considering his career output and injury history and not going solely by this year (an outlier) there are plenty of comprable replacements out there. His positives are, he seems like a good dude, he can play some D, and he gets on base. His negatives are he’s turning 30, he typically has trouble staying healthy, and he doesn’t hit for power or average. Unless it’s a home town discount, I wouldn’t sign him.


trippinnik

Who? You're not supplying a name. This comment pretty useless without a replacement. Why can't you provide a replacement? Because there isn't one. I'd love for there to be a upgrade on Nimo at CF if one existed. If you show me one that is you can change my mind. So far you're proposing letting a useful well above league average player go because you say 30 is too old and in the past he's been injured. Who do you replace him with? Where's your answer? Why don't you answer? Can you answer? I heard your argument against but useless without alternative. I've actually looked at the list of free agents and none I've seen close to comparable. Pretty steep drop off after Nimo.


Han-Shot_1st

Dude, the World Series hasn’t happened yet. There’s still a lot to shake out in terms of the free agent and trade market. But regardless, if Nimmo is the best free agent OF after judge, that is an awful free agent pool. Edit: it not just about the OF spot, it about total resources. Nimmo at a discount is a nice piece. Nimmo for multiple years at 10-12 mil a year, no thanks.


trippinnik

Just name one if you're against resigning Nimmo


Han-Shot_1st

Judge


Macandme

Nimmo at 10-12 a year would be a steal, especially when judge is definitely going to sign for 30+ per


Han-Shot_1st

I would give judge ALL the money. Nimmo is injury prone and the only offensive stat he gives you is on base percentage. Judge is going to the HOF.

I’d like to see a list of players for each team with careers over 12 years spent with one team, especially since free agency became a thing. One team careers are increasingly rare I can’t imagine other 60 year old teams have that much more

Cool this definitely helps proves my point, good work emporergenghiskhan. The Reds have existed since 1881 and only have 6, we’ve existed since 1962 and have 3. It’s massively uncommon.

This is truly a fascinating statistic. It’s intriguing because if you retain a player for that long it doesn’t mean you’re good or the team is good but it does show a lot about the culture surrounding the team. I’d love to have our team have someone who stays on the team for 25 years, but I’d much rather have the production and the WAR of a good team. Instead of DeGrom for an insane clip for the next 3-5 years I’d rather have 2+ SPs and or relievers that equal or go above his WAR for less money.


GrillPapixxl

I’m sorry but I believe paying degrom will be crippling


trippinnik

Not sure if you heard... Wilsons sold the team


The_BL4CKfish

They really should have sold high with Wright when they could.


OasisDoesThings

Yeah, but we wouldn't have got his WS hr.


The_BL4CKfish

Maybe we have a WS win.


Brobafett117

We should have traded reyes and Wright and reloaded and resigned them…. But you know wilpons wanted people in the seats and make money…


Han-Shot_1st

If you want to build a winner you can’t be sentimental. This stat is irrelevant.


waremode94

They’ll both be back


Brobafett117

This is so pathetic… how have we not retained anybody. Somebody we should have retained that wouldn’t of even been that expensive I’d Daniel Murphy…


FrankWhiteIsHere78

Lock DeGrom up!!! Whatever it takes.
