MLB: Should or shouldn’t the Mets give Brandon Nimmo a contract extension?

The gardener Brandon nimmo is a free agent next winter and “the expectation is” that the New York Mets look for a contract extension. Nimmo has a solid .266 / .393 / .445 cutoff line over six MLB seasons, but he only has 1,695 at-bats and 457 games on his major league résumé. due to a variety of injuries.

Given this checkered health record, one wonders how much long-term commitment New York would be willing to make to Nimmo, or if the Mets would just be willing to offer an extension at a relatively team-friendly price:

From Nimmo’s perspective, he will have to consider blocking in some form of a guaranteed payday, or perhaps betting on himself to stay healthy and productive, potentially setting him up for a much richer free agent contract from the Mets. or another team in the 2022-23 offseason.

Hypothetically, the highly incentive extension between the Twins and another frequently injured outfielder in Byron Buxton could serve as a model for a Nimmo extension, albeit likely at a lower price than the $ 100MM in guaranteed money Buxton will receive. Interestingly, Nimmo and Buxton are more comparable than one might think, in terms of fWAR.

I am fond of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and in general all of Mexican baseball. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, the LMB All Star, LMP (uninterrupted since 2009), signings of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, albeit as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even a friendly NBA 10 years ago, but I carry baseball in my veins. Graduated in Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I came to El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services in Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and within days, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
