The Mets enter Opening Day ensnared in a royal mess thanks to Francisco Lindor's continued refusal to accept a contract extension from the organization in the form of 10-years and $325 million. Lindor is seeking a deal worth $385 million over 12 years, and word is both sides are not talking anymore.
It looks like the Mets are going into tomorrow's opener with their highly touted off-season acquisition with one foot already out the door. That is not a feeling the Mets, Steve Cohen, nor Mets fans wanted at this point.
It will be fascinating to see how Mets fans treat/react to Lindor throughout the year, starting with next week's home opener at Citi Field April 8 against Miami. In a poll we posted to Twitter, 39 percent said they would boo Lindor, while 10 percent said they would boo owner Steve Cohen. 51 percent said they would cheer.
This is going to turn ugly before it gets better. Check out our vlog about the Lindor mess and the start of the Mets season.
