New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor will be evaluated for a stress reaction in his left hamate bone and may need surgery, president of baseball operations David Stearns said Tuesday. Stearns said he was confident that Lindor would be ready for Opening Day if he does undergo surgery, with recovery estimated at six weeks. In other Mets news, Stearns said slugger Juan Soto would be moving from right field to left field this season.
Yes, the man that many Red Sox fans have been shipping out the door in imaginary trade scenarios all offseason is, according to MLB Network, the best left fielder in the game. Of course, the reason why so many fans are keen to ship him out is because of the guy that MLB has at number two on the list - not to mention a couple other guys who will end up on the center and right field lists to be published in a few days.
