There are only three players on the New York Mets roster who feel protected. Nolan McLean made himself untouchable in trade talks. Juan Soto’s contract makes him a keeper. Francisco Lindor is the third. Or is he?
Over in San Diego, the hosts on 97.3 The Fanatic fanned the flames on a unique rumor about A.J. Preller having the desire to acquire Francisco Lindor from the Mets. Not only did they suggest the possibility of Lindor coming to the Padres, they added to the trade with the return.
Although maybe not complete, the trade proposal had star reliever Mason Miller coming to New York along with Xander Bogaerts and his albatross contract.
