Will the Mets sign Francisco Lindor before Opening Day?
Francisco Lindor has set a deadline for a new deal of Opening Day. Will the Mets get it done?
When the New York Mets acquired superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor this winter, they knew they were getting one of the best overall players in the game. The Mets also knew Lindor has one year left on his current contract, and is going to (rightfully) ask for a king’s ransom on his next deal.
Lindor has openly put a deadline of Opening Day on any discussions with the Mets on a long-term extension. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported this weekend that Mets owner Steve Cohen had dinner with Lindor, perhaps an indication that the two parties are closing on a blockbuster deal.
