Will the $341 million contract the Mets agreed to with shortstop Francisco Lindor be a worthwhile investment by the time it’s done? The answer to that question will probably vary depending on who you ask.
Lindor is under contract with New York through 2031, which will be his age-37 season. That’s a long time from now, so the true verdict of how this contract pans out is yet to be seen. But we can be sure of one thing. The 29-year-old has been among baseball’s best shortstops since his debut in 2015.
And after a rough first year in Queens, he bounced back at an incredible level in 2022.
