Mets desperately need highest-paid stars to figure it out: Sherman

If the Mets offered to trade Francisco Lindor or James McCann today and accept nothing back as long as the acquiring club took on their contracts, I do not believe a single team would be interested.
By the way, if given a mulligan, I think the Mets would reconsider signing McCann and, at least, signing Lindor without seeing him play in New York first. Yes, it is just a quarter season, but that is how badly that quarter season has gone for the biggest investments of Steve Cohen’s first year as Mets owner. That the club nevertheless leads the NL East reflects depth, energy, greatly improved defense and a division with enough injuries and flaws that no team may be capable of breaking away.More Related News
