Brandon Nimmo News
The New York Mets agreed to re-sign outfielder Brandon Nimmo to an eight-year, $162 million deal on Thursday, according to sources familiar with the deal. The Mets keep their on-base machine of a center fielder, and the biggest payroll in baseball only gets bigger. The former first-rounder will remain the team's leadoff man with a career .385 on-base percentage in his seven major-league seasons with the Mets. Nimmo doesn't have a ton of pop (career-high 17 home runs in 2018), but he's an excellent table-setter and is a great target in OBP and runs scored in fantasy. In a career-high 151 games in 2022, the 29-year-old hit .274/.367/.433 with an .800 OPS, 16 homers, a league-high seven triples, 64 RBI, 102 runs scored and three stolen bases.
The New York Yankees are expected to meet with free-agent outfielder Brandon Nimmo at the Winter Meetings this week in San Diego. The Yankees are looking for two outfielders, so they could sign both Nimmo and Aaron Judge, although that would also bloat their budget considerably. If the Yankees sign both Nimmo and Judge, they'd have arguably the best defensive outfielder in baseball along with Harrison Bader. New York has also discussed Andrew Benintendi and Japanese star Masataka Yoshida. The San Francisco Giants, Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets are also in the running to sign the on-base machine this offseason. Nimmo would be particularly attractive in fantasy atop the Yankees powerful offense, especially if they re-sign Judge, too.
The New York Yankees are believed to be on the list of teams to visit with free-agent outfielder Brandon Nimmo. The fit is somewhat curious, though, unless the Yankees are unable to re-sign superstar slugger Aaron Judge. The San Francisco Giants, Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets are also believed to be involved with Nimmo. The 29-year-old outfielder is one of the best on-base men in all of baseball, so he'd be a great fit at the top of any contending team's lineup. Nimmo has a .385 career on-base in seven big-league seasons with the Mets, and he had a .274/.367/.433 slash line with an .800 OPS, 16 home runs, a league-leading seven triples, 64 RBI, 102 runs scored and three stolen bases in 673 plate appearances and 151 games.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo looks set to have yet another solid fantasy campaign as a member of the National League East club. The veteran re-signed with the team after becoming a free agent. And while he didn't log a .400 on-base percentage for the third straight season, the outfielder did set a new career high in plate appearances with 673 as New York's primary leadoff hitter. One of fantasy baseball's best run-scoring options -; and a quality option in leagues where on-base percentage is part of the scoring -; Nimmo hit .274 with a .367 on-base percentage, 16 home runs, three stolen bases, 102 runs scored, and 64 RBI last season. As long as he continues to hit leadoff for Buck Showalter's team, the outfielder should continue to score runs with regularity. Elsewhere, his 16 home runs, thanks in large part to a barrel rate that jumped three percent to 7.0% in 2022, finished just one short of a career-high. If Nimmo can continue to score runs with ease and reach double digits in home runs -; while adding a few extra stolen bases with the league's new rules introducing larger bases -; he could be a quality late-round option for fantasy managers.
