Opening Day is less than 48 hours away, and the time to re-sign Francisco Lindor is quickly dwindling away. The New York Mets have made their offer of 10-years/$325 million, and Lindor countered with a 12-year/$385 million offer. Lindor’s camp said they are not budging on their offer, but one expensive variable remains. Will Steve Cohen open up the wallet more to secure his superstar?
Lindor is a heckuva player and a great guy . I hope he decides to sign

Just discussing an extension this large is an example of the franchise’s growth since Cohen purchased the team.
