I’m ready to reach $ 300 million with Lindor

The New York Mets appear to be willing to reach $ 300 million to tie Puerto Rican star Francisco Lindor to a multi-year contract.

At least that’s what MLB Network journalist Jon Heyman said, reporting on his Twitter account that a source assured him.

If correct, the Mets seem determined to keep the valuable siore, which Cleveland owner Paul Dolan said is too expensive for the Indian franchise. It is alleged that at one point the Indians made a $ 200 million offer to Cagueño.

Lindor confirmed on Saturday that he and his representatives are already in talks. And they would be under pressure to finalize a deal in less than two weeks, as Puerto Rico has said it will not negotiate with the start of the 2021 MLB season, which begins on April 1.

The Mets took Lindor in January in a deal with Cleveland and received a $ 22.3 million contract this season. He said his goal is a multi-year deal worth more than $ 300 million.

It is unclear how Lindor will react, Heyman said, but said the Mets are willing to reach that number is a source of optimism.
