Brodie Van Wagenen never did make the big flashy trade many of us were expecting this winter. However, according to some recent New York Mets trade rumors, he did seriously talk to the Cleveland Indians about a deal for shortstop Francisco Lindor.
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Amed Rosario was one of the primary targets of Cleveland. In addition to the current shortstop in Flushing, these Mets trade rumors of weeks-past would have included at least a pair of prospects.
Interestingly, Tim Healey of Newsday previously reported Jeff McNeil as the main Indians’ target.
