According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, The New York Mets expressed interest in trading for Francisco Lindor. The Cleveland Indians are said to be looking to move their star shortstop. They reportedly want to clear salary off the books after failing to make the playoffs in 2019.
Rosenthal reports that the Mets backed out of the bidding war after the price got too high. According to Tim Healey of Newsday, the Indians repeatedly asked the Mets for Jeff McNeil.
McNeil proved to be too high a price and it’s easy to see why.
