The Francisco Lindor case is said to be about to be concluded.
According to Jeff Passan, the Cleveland Mets and Indians are close to closing a deal that would send Francisco Lindor to the New York Mets.
The Francisco Lindor-to-the-Mets trade is being finalized, sources tell ESPN. This is going to happen. The first mega-move of the Steve Cohen era gives the team its new face.

It is said that Carlos Carrasco, as rumors wanted, will also be part of the transaction.
And that makes Marcus Stroman happy.
Here is the return: Andres Gimenez, Amed Rosario, Josh Wolf (prospect, pitcher) and outfielder Isaiah Greene (outfielder, prospect) will be the return obtained by the Indians.
Full trade, per sources:
To Mets: Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco.
To Indians: Amed Rosario, Andrés Giménez, Josh Wolf, Isaiah Greene.

Recall that Lindor was under his control for another year before becoming a free agent.
That said, with Carlos Correa, Trevor Story, Corey Seager and Javier Baez all out in a year, if the Mets give Lindor what he wants, he could do like Mookie Betts and sign with his new club.
