Francisco Lindor
and Mets Agree to
$341 Million Contract.
According to a source who spoke with ESPN's Jeff Passan,
the shortstop has signed a 10-year deal with the Mets.
It will be the third-largest deal based on total value in MLB history after Mookie Betts
($365 million) and Mike Trout ($426.5 million).
New Mets owner Steve Cohen involved
fans with negotiations on social media.
Lindor had previously said he'd "go to free agency"
if a deal wasn't in place by Opening Day.
The 27-year-old two-time Gold Glove winner has also averaged 29 home runs, 86 RBIs and 21 steals in six MLB seasons
