New York Mets fans are holding onto hope that shortstop Francisco Lindor will remain in Queens beyond the upcoming trade deadline. In a recent statement, Mets General Manager David Stearns hinted that Lindor's future with the team may not be in jeopardy, sparking speculation about the possibility of an extension or a long-term commitment. Despite trade rumors surrounding the star player, Stearns' comments have breathed new life into the idea that Lindor could don the Mets uniform for years to come. As the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaches, Mets fans are eagerly awaiting further developments on Lindor's status with the team.


This wasn’t a guarantee that Francisco Lindor will remain a Met past the Aug. 3 trade deadline, but David Stearns didn’t suggest the shortstop will be elsewhere, either.
