When the Mets reported to Spring Training, the focus for the front office was getting a long-term deal in place with Francisco Lindor. The Mets paid a significant price to land a superstar shortstop and needed to lock him up for the rest of his career.
They were able to get that done before Lindor’s Opening Day deadline, giving him the largest contract in franchise history.
The next name on the list of contracts to get done for the Mets is outfielder Michael Conforto. The 28-year-old is playing in the final year of club control in 2021, making $12.
