New York Mets star Francisco Lindor is enjoying the last few days of the offseason and posted a video of his visit to Paris on his Instagram page on Saturday. The 31-year-old is coming off one of the best seasons of his career, where he led the Mets to the NLCS and finished second in the NL MVP voting.
Lindor's visit to the "City of Love" involved lots of sightseeing, shopping and eating, all of which featured in his video captioned:
"Amazing views, delicious food, and timeless fashion… Paris, we’ll meet again!"
Francisco Lindor started his major league career with the Cleveland Indians in 2015, where he soon became one of the central figures. After five years in Cleveland as a perennial All-Star, he was traded to the New York Mets in the final year of his contract.
After joining the Mets in 2021, Lindor signed a 10-year, $341 million deal and cemented his place as one of their best players. The Puerto Rican is well-known as a reliable hitter and an elite defensive player. He played a crucial role in the Mets' postseason run to the NLCS last year, single-handedly pulling the team through a difficult season.
The future looks bright for Lindor as the Mets, after having landed Juan Soto in a historic contract, seek to build a roster to compete for the World Series title in 2025. While they face stiff competition in the NL, the New York team has a promising look about it this year.
Francisco Lindor shares his reaction to the Mets signing Juan Soto on a historic $765 million contract
There is a buzz around the New York Mets as we head into the 2025 MLB season, mostly thanks to the arrival of Juan Soto. The historic $765 million deal to land the Dominican star produced varied reactions from everyone in baseball. In a recent interview, Francisco Lindor shared his reaction to the signing and expressed his excitement to play alongside Soto:
"I was happy, and I also said, 'Damn,'" Lindor said. "I can't wait to be a teammate of his for the next seven years and then can't wait to watch him from my house."
While Lindor has seven years left on his agreement with the Mets, Soto's deal is for fifteen years, making it the longest in the history of the MLB. Soto's age and talent contributed to the length of the contract, changing the landscape of free agency in the sport forever.
