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.

Nimmo's 0.740 OPS would have been around 4th on the team last year out of the regulars.

2nd in avg

1st in HR 

1st in RBI is what Ive come up with
