The New York Mets welcomed their new star shortstop on Monday, after they held an introductory press conference for Francisco Lindor. Last week, the Mets made a statement by trading four players – shortstops Andres Gimenez and Amed Rosario plus two prospects – to the Cleveland Indians in exchange for Lindor and Carlos Carrasco.
With the smile that has made him famous in his tenure as a big leaguer, Lindor said he is excited to be a part of the New York Mets.
“They say smiling is very contagious,” Lindor said, while donning a Mets cap.
