The New York Mets made the splash of the offseason to this point by acquiring Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for Amed Rosario, Andrés Giménez, Josh Wolf and Isaiah Greene.
The move immediately puts the Mets among the contenders in the National League, although it’s not yet guaranteed to be for the long haul considering Lindor is entering the final year of club control before reaching free agency.
This trade was very similar to the one the Los Angeles Dodgers made with the Boston Red Sox a year ago, acquiring Mookie Betts and David Price.
