Brandon Nimmo is relieved to have reached the point in his career where only wins and losses matter.
in free agency this winter, the 29-year-old outfielder doesn’t have to fret about an ugly performance, slumps or injured list stints. He has arrived for spring training knowing he will likely be a Met for the rest of his career and can concentrate solely on the big picture.
For Nimmo it’s been business as usual since receiving his new contract. That meant working out five days a week at the Mets complex since mid-December — after he signed his new deal — until the last two weeks, when he added a sixth day to his regimen.Nimmo appeared in a career-high 151 games last season and produced a .274/.367/.433 slash line with 16 homers and 64 RBIs while providing the club with a leadoff presence and solid defense in center field.
“I just felt like that’s a risk I can’t take: signing this contract, being with this team and the way that Steve [Cohen] has set it up, I would really kick myself if something happened,” Nimmo said. “In order to be prepared for [the WBC], I would have needed to start a month earlier and I am hoping that we’re playing well after this regular season ends. I’m hoping to add a month to a month-and-a-half of a season after this. We just felt this was best for the team if I did not.
