The Mets dropped their afternoon contest to the Nationals yesterday by a 9-5 score. In the loss, Francisco Lindor picked up his first two hits of the spring, giving his club a taste of what’s to come.
It appears extension talks between the Mets and Lindor are finally set to begin in earnest this week.
The club is likely to focus on the Lindor extension first before moving on to extension talks for outfielder Michael Conforto.
Jose Martinez will miss approximately four months after suffering a torn meniscus in his left knee during Sunday’s game.
