Francisco Lindor linked to Yankees, Red Sox ahead of trade deadline

The MLB trade deadline is approaching, with Francisco Lindor possibly on the move from the New York Mets. Mets president David Stearns has previously stated that Lindor will not be traded, but reports indicate the team may reconsider amidst a disappointing season. The Yankees and Red Sox are named as potential suitors. The Yankees seek an upgrade at shortstop to strengthen their lineup, especially with current injuries to key players like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are actively pursuing shortstops and could be interested in Lindor despite concerns over his contract. The Seattle Mariners are also mentioned as a candidate looking to bolster their roster ahead of the deadline.
