Do the Mets Really Have to Trade Francisco Lindor?

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the idea that the Mets have to trade Francisco Lindor, questioning whether the team should even think that way unless the return clearly makes them better. They break down Lindor’s contract, his leadership, his fit with Juan Soto, and why Steve Cohen’s comments may have reopened an unnecessary conversation. The discussion also turns to the Yankees and their glaring issues up the middle, from catcher to shortstop to second base. Evan and Tiki examine what Brian Cashman may need to address at the trade deadline, why Anthony Volpe’s standing has changed, and how injuries and roster holes have shaped the Yankees’ current concerns.
