Francisco Lindor has awesome NSFW answer when challenged on long-term contract by media

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor held nothing back when discussing his new contract.

Francisco Lindor will play shortstop for the New York Mets for a very long time.

After inking a mega-rich 10-year deal, Lindor was challenged by the New York media, mostly because it’s the New York media, about if he is going to bring it in year 10 of this deal when he’s in his age-38 season.

Lindor gave the New York media a soundbite it will never forget, one that you cannot say over the airwaves or in the presence of a PG audience. I’m not gonna say it, but here is the tweet.

Francisco Lindor wants to be a bad, bad, bad New York Met at age-38

Starring for the same franchise that gave us the Bobby Bonilla annuity, as well as whatever is going on with Robinson Cano, yeah, we should be a little bit apprehensive about decade-long deals coming out of Queens. Though Lindor is very much in his prime now, he will be very expensive and almost certainly out of it by the time this 10-year contract has run its course.

Then again, this is the price to keep Lindor in Mets uniform through the 2020s. The Mets have not won a World Series since 1986, despite winning a pair of NL pennants in the 21st century. The idea is Lindor can be the franchise cornerstone like David Wright was supposed to be before injuries unraveled his promising career. The Mets are counting on Lindor to be a bad, bad man.

Here is to Lindor being as bad of a baseball dude as he says he will be through his age-38 season.
