The Cleveland Indians fan base was expecting some sort of trade involving shortstop Francisco Lindor as he reaches the last years of a contract that will pay him $37 million over the next two years. The star becomes a free agent before the 2022 season. If all goes well for Lindor, that contact (could be an extension) will be massive.
Lindor, a switch-hitter, was drafted in 2011 as the eighth pick by the Indians. A career .285 hitter, the stellar-fielding shortstop could also make opposing pitchers scared by his swing. Lindor has 138 career home runs and 411 runs batted in.
