The Mets and Indians came together Thursday to complete a blockbuster trade, with Cleveland sending Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco to New York in exchange for big league infielders Amed Rosario and Andrés Giménez, as well as a pair of rising prospects in Josh Wolf and Isaiah Greene.
Lindor, 27, will join the Mets after six seasons in Cleveland, during which he was a four-time All-Star and recorded three Top 10 finishes in the AL MVP race, while also garnering a pair of Silver Slugger and Gold Glove Awards apiece. Set to become a free agent after the 2021 season, the former No. 8 overall Draft pick (2011) batted .285/.346/.488 with 138 home runs and 99 stolen bases during his tenure with the club, accruing 28.7 WAR.
