The Mets invited prospect Brandon Nimmo to major league spring training.
This comes as a bit of a surprise as the 20-year-old outfielder is coming off a somewhat disappointing 2013 campaign in which he slashed .273/.397/.359 with two homers, 40 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 110 games at Class-A Savannah. Perhaps the organization is trying to motivate to extremely talented youngster.
