Cleveland Indians lose in sell-low Francisco Lindor deal

The Cleveland Indians finally reached a long awaited deal for Francisco Lindor, but the package from the New York Mets was underwhelming. While the expectation was that Lindor would start the 2021 season in a city other than Cleveland, most expected the Indians to get a much better return than what we saw come to the Tribe from the Big Apple.

Since arriving to the big leagues in Cleveland, Lindor has been one of the best shortstops in the game and in the conversation for best overall player as well.
