Do you remember the people last year and throughout the winter saying Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor wasn’t worth the $341 million contract he signed? It seems like those naysayers have been awfully quiet this year.
As the Mets went from looking lifeless against the Cubs to blowing out the Pirates on Thursday night at Citi Field, Lindor hit his 24th home run of the year. When looking at the grand scheme of things, it was just another dinger for the shortstop. After all, he’s already surpassed the 30-homer plateau three times in his career.
