Mets likely to trade Francisco Lindor after the season

The New York Mets are expected to be sellers ahead of the MLB trade deadline, with plans to trade star shortstop Francisco Lindor likely pushed to the offseason. Executives suggest that Lindor's substantial contract, valued at $160 million over five years, and his full no-trade clause complicate a trade now. Lindor's performance has also struggled, diminishing his trade value as the team explores options. The Mets traded for Lindor from the Cleveland Guardians to address contract issues and may need to reassess their roster this winter instead of rapidly moving him before the August 3 deadline.
