Anderson recently name-checked the Mets in any Lindor deal. Here's what he wrote about what the Mets might offer: : Amed Rosario and Andres Tony Perez Jersey Gimenez, for starters. You'd figure that name could pop up, too. Otherwise, the Mets would have to build a package around a combination of , , , and .This one bears monitoring, to say the least.
