Brandon Nimmo shared an interesting opinion about why the New York Mets might have traded him.
The one-for-one swap made enough sense from a baseball perspective. But the fact that Nimmo is beloved by Mets fans anddown the stretch last year suggested that perhaps Nimmo's standing in the locker room wasn't as solid as had been initially believed.
And his getting traded away added fuel to this speculation.What Brandon Nimmo Thinks Contributed to Mets Moving Him"As for more minor nuisances that gained criticism toward Nimmo, he did agree those were possibly problems. For example, as part of the program that has allowed him to play so many games the past four years, Nimmo hardly ever takes batting practice at home, feeling it is detrimental to warm up for that , then cool down and then heat up again for the game. So Nimmo often waits to close to the game, gets into uniform, warms up and goes to play, and that apartness from the club disturbed some," Sherman wrote in the article, which was included in a March 1 X post from @metsnewsletter. “I do think that that part of things had a little bit to do with ,” Nimmo was then quoted as saying.Sherman then added, "Additionally, Nimmo tended to always make sure his voice was heard at meetings and could go on for a while, and it was felt at times that it was all too much. To which, Nimmo said, 'I did talk a lot at meetings. Maybe that was part of it, too. I heard that.'" "It is all petty in the big picture, but in the claustrophobic everyday-ness of nine months living together, small things tend to fester and grow, especially when a team is losing and there is a vacuum in leadership," Sherman continued.Grant Young covers the New York Mets and Women’s Basketball for Sports Illustrated’s ‘On SI’ sites.
