A lot of Tribe fans were not exactly stunned when the team moved shortstop Francisco Lindor this offseason in a move that was just a matter of time.
Lindor wasn’t going to re-sign with the Tribe, and the team has felt from the word go that it was better to get something in return for the shortstop than just to let him walk and get nothing in return.
Now a member of the New York Mets, Lindor is getting all kinds of mainstream attention in the “Big Apple,” to the point where New York Post’s Joel Sherman has declared the 27-year-old as baseball’s “most interesting player” entering the 2021 season.
