Francisco Lindor, 28, who was recently traded to the New York Mets, has confirmed his 2021 season salary.
Mark Paynesand of MLB.com, the official website of the major leagues, quoted a source on his SNS (social media) on the 16th (Korean time) and said, “Lindor has agreed with the Mets club for an annual salary of 22.3 million dollars (24.5 billion won).” . Lindor was eligible for a third annual salary adjustment this season. Last year’s annual salary was 17.5 million dollars (19.2 billion won).
Lindor, an all-star shortstop, wore a Mets uniform during a trade made on the 8th. The Mets needed reinforcement in the field, and Cleveland, the primary team, transfused a prospect instead of sending a high-paid Lindor. It was a trade that made each other’s interests fit.
Lindor, who is from Puerto Rico, has a career (6 years) major league performance with a batting average of 0.285, 138 homers and 411 RBIs. In the shortened season (162 games per team → 60 games), last year, he hit a batting average of 0.258, 8 home runs, and 27 RBIs. It is a top shortstop resource that has won two Gold Gloves and Silver Sluggers in the American League shortstop category.
