Dodgers? Padres? Who ya got?
How about the New York Mets?
Yes, the Mets acquired dynamic shortstop Francisco Lindor from the Cleveland Indians on Thursday — a four-time all-star, a force in the lineup, an impact player for years to come. No, the Mets are not as good as the World Series champion Dodgers or the San Diego Padres, at least right now.
But winning in October is about winning in a short series, and the Mets might suddenly have become the team no one wants to draw in the first round.
