According to a report by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the SF Giants “inquired about” star shortstop Francisco Lindor with Cleveland before he was traded to the New York Mets. Per his report, Cleveland brought up Joey Bart as part of the possible return package. Clearly, the Giants declined to pursue negotiations much further. However, after Bart’s struggles in his first taste of the majors, it’s still worth mentioning that other front offices still value him as a potential centerpiece for a star player.
