Mike Francesa claims Mets will attempt to trade Francisco Lindor

Mike Francesa stated that the relationship between Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor is troubled, questioning their public claims of reconciliation. Lindor earlier described Soto as a brother, but Francesa argues his sources indicate significant discord dating back to Soto’s arrival on the Mets. Owner Steve Cohen acknowledged previous tensions but noted improvements. Francesa suggests the Mets are likely to focus on building their roster around Soto and may try to trade Lindor, despite his substantial contract that runs through 2031. The situation reflects ongoing organizational challenges within the Mets amid a disappointing season.
