Wait- so the rangers are taking on payroll now? I don’t get it. 

Huh? Nimmo makes less than Semien.

I like the trade. He's younger and coming off a better hitting season.

More total payroll though. 

I don't understand what your point is. We had Semien through 37 we now have Nimmo through 37 at less per year. We got 3 years of what might be JAG seasons from Semien off the books.

In return for 5 years of JAG? I don’t think we lost the trade, I’m just not sure what it got.

Well it gets us $8M further from the tax threshold this year and next. Semien was moving in the wrong direction and maybe Nimmo has another 120, 130 OPS+ season in him or two.

Sure it could fuck us if he falls off a cliff and then we're stuck with a couple bad years - but if you think you're already stuck with bad Semien years then why not roll the dice?

I like the move. Hopefully it doesn't blow up in our face.
