Deal being finalized. Gimenez and Wolf heading to CLE

I've been on the Mets bandwagon in 19 and 20 expecting big things, but 21 could be insane wit them adding this to what they already have

From Rotoworld:

According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the trade sending Francisco Lindor to the Mets has been agreed on.
Carlos Carrasco is also being sent to Queens, per MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. In return, the Indians will reportedly get shortstop Amed Rosario, young infielder Andres Gimenez, 2019 second-round pick RHP Josh Wolf, 2020 second-round pick OF Isaiah Greene, and maybe some other pieces. Joel Sherman of the New York Post hears that the blockbuster trade will be officially announced around 1 p.m. ET. Stay tuned.

the new MI duo for Cleveland & prospects 3 years out for 2 faces of the franchise.

Jose Ramirez due 3/35 and could return a mint right now - wonder if he's next

[Pauly]

Rosario too.

[umjewman]

I'm so happy.

[Gregg]

I'm so happy.

As well you should be. Congrats!

Man, the poor Indians fans

Not only are Lindor and Cookie both good players but they're also awesome people. And now Lindor is going to sign a huge extension to be the face of the franchise.

[Judge Jude]

it's official

[joncarlos]

SS Lindor
2B McNeil
RF Conforto
1B Alonso
LF Dom Smith
3B JD Davis
CF Nimmo
C McCann

That's not a great defense, but what a lineup. And maybe they still get Springer.

[Big Tymer]

And likely they aren't done as they are still favorites for Springer imo. Huge trade. Not a fan for Cleveland but probably best they could hope for especially if they can fix Rosario.

[revo]

And a pretty damned good staff too:

1 - DeGrom
2 - Carrasco
3 - Stroman
4 - D.Peterson
5 - Matz

If there is still a DH, they could improve the defense by shifting McNeil to LF, play Guillorme at 2B and then shift Smith to DH.
