Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor is set for arbitration in 2021 and unrestricted free agency in 2022 if he doesn't receive a new contract.
It doesn't look like that will happen anytime soon.
"We had good conversations," he told Jason Lloyd of The Athletic while revealing he and the Indians suspended contract talks to focus on the upcoming 2020 campaign. "We couldn't come up with an agreement. So we put that aside and let's focus on winning."
Lloyd noted there were contract extension talks during the spring despite the lack of a new deal.
