Lost in all the hoopla that the Francisco Lindor 10-year, $341 million contract extensión generated last week is the fact that the New York Mets still have some homework to do if they want to build a sustainable winning franchise.
Players such as Marcus Stroman, Noah Syndergaard, and Michael Conforto, just like Lindor before putting pen to paper, are scheduled to hit free agency after the season ends. For the Mets, the outfielder seems to be the next in line in extension talks, but so far, there just hasn’t been to much progress to report.
