As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the New York Mets are reportedly evaluating the possibility of trading shortstop Francisco Lindor. Bob Nightengale of USA Today indicated that while they would like to move Lindor, his substantial contract and no-trade clause complicate immediate deals. The Mets currently sit near the bottom of the National League and appear to be in a sell mode, focusing on future roster improvements. Lindor, 32, is a key asset, but it’s believed that a trade may not occur until the offseason when teams can better assess their financial situations.
- •Mets are considered a bottom-three team in the National League.
- •Francisco Lindor has a full no-trade clause.
- •Lindor has the most expensive contract on the Mets' payroll.
- •Most players, except for a couple of young prospects, are available for trade.
- •A trade for Lindor is more likely in the offseason.
