New York acquired Lindor and Carlos Carrasco from the Cleveland Guardians [formerly Indians] for Amed Rosario, Andrés Giménez, Josh Wolf and Isaiah Greene on Jan. 7, 2021. The club then signed Lindor to a 10-year, $341 million extension on March 31 of that year.

The 5-foot-10-inch, 190-pounder had his best season as a Met in 2024, slashing .273/.344/.500 with 33 homers and 91 RBI. He also slashed .275/.387/.490 with two homers and eight RBI in 13 playoff games.

New York is now 1.5 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies for first place in the NL East.
