Steve Cohen on Francisco Lindor Mets Contract Talks: 'I Hope He Decides to Sign'

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen put the ball in the hands of Francisco Lindor regarding a possible extension on Tuesday:

The Mets offered Lindor a 10-year deal worth $325 million, according to Andy Martino of SNY, who reported the two sides were not close to an agreement. The shortstop reportedly turned down the offer and is seeking $385 million over 12 years, per Tim Healey of Newsday.

Lindor has placed a deadline of Opening Day to sign an extension, giving the sides until Thursday to agree on a deal.
