According to Jeff Passan, Cleveland was in deep talks with the Mets for a Francisco Lindor deal around 12:30 p.m. ET, and by 1 p.m. the deal was official. The two sides were reportedly finalizing the steps, which typically means exchanging physicals.
If the Francisco Lindor-to-the-Mets deal is completed as expected, shortstop Andres Gimenez would be part of the package going back to the Cleveland Indians, sources tell ESPN.
