While the possibility exists that the New York Mets end up trading Francisco Lindor, multiple executives across the industry granted anonymity for their candor described the chances on Friday as unlikely.The Mets are open to listening to offers on nearly all of their players. Lindor is not among the exceptions. Any team that expresses interest in the star shortstop, however, would have to clear a high bar.The Mets viewing Lindor as a valuable player is just one reason why people with knowledge of the situation don’t see a trade happening. There are a handful of other reasons, too. Chief among them, Lindor, 32, owns trade veto power and is owed $160 million through 2031.New York does not hold particular interest in paying down Lindor’s contract in a potential trade because, in its view, he can still be part of a winning team next season. A potential lockout is threatening the 2027 season. But the Mets, all but set to miss the postseason for a second consecutive year, want to win whenever there is a next season.Lindor declined comment when The Athletic brought up his no-trade power during a recent conversation. As a 10-year veteran who has played the last five consecutive years with the same team, Lindor holds veto power over any potential trade.
