Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager will have a new double-play partner this season after second baseman Marcus Semien was traded to the New York Mets in the offseason.
“I think that’s things that are in-house that people don’t know about, right?” Seager said. “That’s just all speculation. Me and Marcus had a fine relationship. We both respected each other, we were both professional, and we knew how to go about our business and try to accomplish a goal. And we did that in ‘23. So, like I said, you can’t take that away from us.”
Seager, 31, is a five-time All-Star (three appearances with the Rangers) and two-time World Series MVP, including in 2023 with Texas. He has hit .278 with 117 home runs in four seasons with the Rangers. He was limited to 102 games last season because of injuries and hit .271 with 21 home runs and 50 RBIs.
Semien, 35, is a three-time All-Star (two appearances with the Rangers). He hit .249 with 93 homers in four seasons with Texas and hit .230 with 15 homers and 62 RBIs in 127 games last season.
Semien was traded to the Mets for outfielder Brandon Nimmo, 32, a 10-year veteran who hit .262 last season with a career-high 25 home runs.
Josh Smith, 28, is expected to step in at second base for the Rangers. He hit .251 with 10 homers and 35 RBIs last season in his fourth year with the club.
