April 1, 20215 yr https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/03/mets-to-extend-francisco-lindor.html Well, the pipe dream of signing Lindor is now over. Quote The deal is in the $340MM range and contains deferrals, per Heyman. It’s a ten-year, $341MM deal, reports Anthony DiComo of MLB.com (Twitter link). The deal contains a limited no-trade clause with no opt-outs, per Andy Martino of SNY (via Twitter). It begins in 2022, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
April 1, 20215 yr It will work out because the Marlins didn't do it... It will fail because the Mets did it.
April 1, 20215 yr Author Quote The deal contains about $50MM in deferred money, hears Joel Sherman of the New York. It comes with a $21MM signing bonus, per Sherman. Lindor will earn a flat $32MM in each season from 2022-31, with $5MM of that salary deferred each year to be paid from 2032-41, per Sherman. The no-trade clause covers 15 teams, Sherman adds.
April 1, 20215 yr It will contain a full no trade in 5 years however. Good deal all around. They were too close to not figure something out. Deadlines are wonderful things!
April 5, 20215 yr Quote Buster Olney on Twitter: "Between Francisco Lindor's 2021 salary and his $21 million signing bonus -- which he'll receive this month -- his $43.3m compensation will be the most ever for any MLB player in a calendar year, ever. Given the looming labor uncertainty, it was smart for him to be paid up front." / Twitter
