Mets Rumors: Exec Calls NYM 'Superpower' Following Francisco Lindor Trade

At least one Major League Baseball executive believes Thursday's trade was just the start of good things to come for the New York Mets with Steve Cohen leading the way.

John Harper of SNY shared the executive's comments:

"I know it lines up as more like what the Dodgers did getting Mookie Betts, but to me it's the kind of thing the Yankees have done forever. The Mets took advantage of a small-market team in a difficult financial climate.

"They didn't have to give up anything resembling equal value because they have an owner with deep pockets who is willing to take on big salaries.
