Lindor is one of the most notable players on the Mets.
That said, the five-time MLB star has struggled to start the season, batting .167 with no home runs and no RBI’s (with 13 strikeouts).
He has also struggled as a fielder.
It’s worth noting that the Mets still owe Lindor over $190 million.
Jeff Schudel of The News-Herald wrote (on April 1, 2021): “Good morning to you, and it is a good morning for Francisco Lindor. He signed a 10-year $341 million contract with the #Mets while most of us were sleeping. It is the biggest contract ever for a shortstop.”
