3 potential landing spots for New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo

The Giants are planning on spending big this offseason in an attempt to return to the playoffs.
Naturally, they have their sights set on two of the top free agents in baseball. According to reports, Aaron Judge and Trea Turner are atop their wishlist, two players that would certainly help boost a middling lineup. Both the outfield and middle infield were sore spots for the Giants last season, making Judge and Turner logical targets.
It is a good plan in theory. Yet, while the Giants are looking to make a splash, other options make sense as well. Brandon Nimmo is one of those players that would be a solid Plan B in the event that they are unable to lure Judge to the Bay Area.
He would also solve several issues. Mike Yastrzemski was the Giants’ primary center fielder last year, hardly the ideal defensive situation. The Giants also used ten different players in the leadoff spot last season, with six players getting at least ten starts atop the batting order. Nimmo would change all of that, taking over as the Giants’ leadoff man while providing a solid all around bat in the outfield.
Next. Mets were outclassed by Padres in postseason. dark
The Giants have big plans for the offseason. If those plans fall through, New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo would be a perfect consolation prize.
