Francisco Lindor doesn’t expect to leave New York

We didn't expect the Mets to trade Francisco Lindor at the trade deadline. It happened too quickly.

But now that it's over and the offseason is fast approaching, the question arises: Will the Mets make a move?

Before the deadline, many insiders were convinced that the Mets would try to trade him during the 2026–2027 offseason—even though the team wants to win in 2027.

That's one of the reasons why Tarik Skubal's name is being mentioned in town right now.

But on this subject, the man himself has spoken out. And you won't be surprised to learn that Lindor doesn't expect to leave New York in the coming months.

As if he were going to say otherwise, regardless of how true the speculation might be…

Lindor points out that he signed his contract with the Mets to stay with the New York team. He wants to experience the ups and downs.

And there have been quite a few lows.

Also in the “no surprise” category: he stated that David Steans and Steve Cohen—who showered him with money a few years ago—are the right people to lead the club.

So, all is well in the best of all possible worlds.

We don't know what lies ahead for the player. Perhaps the club has no intention of trading him, but it's also possible that Stearns is just biding his time until Lindor leaves.

But what we do know is that the Mets, who are wealthy, can't keep going the way things are right now. Something has to change ahead of 2027.
