Yankees predicted to target Mets' Francisco Lindor in trade talks
Summary

The New York Yankees are reportedly considering a trade for shortstop Francisco Lindor of the New York Mets as they look to address shortstop and bolster their roster. This potential move comes amid the Yankees' need for a standout player with Aaron Judge currently nursing an injury. With the Mets out of playoff contention, they may seek to trade Lindor to reset their team dynamics, especially as his current contract includes five years and $160 million remaining. ESPN's Jorge Castillo discusses the implications, noting the rarity of such trades between the two New York teams and the financial considerations involved for the Mets.
