Letting Francisco Lindor go was the right move for the Cleveland Indians.
On January 7, 2021 the Cleveland Indians traded their star shortstop in Francisco Lindor to the New York Mets. Fast forward almost three months to the day and the Mets have inked Lindor to a $341 million deal over the next 10 years. The deal will keep Lindor in Queens through the 2031 season, but fans of the Tribe should be relieved that it was the Mets that made that deal and not the Indians.
