Tuesday was a great day for Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil and his family. His four-year, $50 million extension became official and he spoke with the media about it. Among the many things discussed, he provided an update on a promise Francisco Lindor made to him last season.
McNeil entered the 2022 season coming off an incredibly disappointing campaign. Between 2018 and 2020, the Flying Squirrel hit .319/.383/.501, which led to a 140 wRC+ and .884 OPS. His 2021 performance included a .251/.319/.360 line, a 92 wRC+, and a .679 OPS.
Obviously, he bounced back in a big way.
