There is something else Francisco Lindor has noticed over the last six weeks with this surging Mets group.
As they have come alive since then, going 25-12 entering Friday to play their way back into the NL wild-card race, that airing-out among teammates has taken on a life of its own.
The Mets, indeed, do have a lot of players with eyes on new contracts after this year, whether it is starting pitchers Luis Severino, Sean Manaea and Jose Quintana, or position players Pete Alonso, J.D. Martinez and Harrison Bader, among others.Mets’ Adam Ottavino showed ‘conviction’ in escaping bases-loaded jam
And, as Lindor noted, there is help on the way. Ace Kodai Senga will make his third outing during his rehabilitation assignment Sunday, and could be back shortly after the All-Star break. High-leverage reliever Sean Reid-Foley’s return is expected soon, as well.On Tuesday, the Mets traded for Rays reliever Phil Maton to add to the sieve of a bullpen, this team’s major weakness.
“I don’t want to go through what I went through last year, a rapid fire sale,” Lindor said. “Nobody wants to go through that because everybody wants to be in the playoffs. At the end of the day, I want to be in a good position where the front office is going to have some tough decisions to make.
