Andy Martino SNY.TV: Source: Mets 'very frustrated' with Carlos Correa talks, now considering walking away. "Correa-to-Mets is not dead. In fact, the source said that in the end, they still believed the sides stood a strong chance of reaching an agreement. But the deal is clearly at an inflection point, and for the first time the team is seriously questioning whether it wants to proceed."
Mike Puma New York Post Sports+: How beloved Mets star Ron Hunt is tackling his health problems with a big assist from Bret Saberhagen. "Saberhagen learned of Hunt’s illness through his connection to Mets alumni director Jay Horwitz, the former two-time Cy Young Award winner’s SabesWings Foundation then interceded... SabesWings, launched in May 2021, was created to help families burdened by medical finances." (Subscription required).
MLB Trade Rumors: Dodgers Designate Trevor Bauer For Assignment.
Clutchpoints: 4 best destinations for Trevor Bauer after getting DFA’d by Dodgers. Mets, Padres, Astros and Rangers are mentioned. About the Mets they say: "Trevor Bauer comes at a bargain and is still capable of dominating, no matter the role. The Mets need to at least give this a thought."
So, why is the Carlos Correa saga taking so long? Should Mets fans still be confident? What are the fallback options?@sal_licata, @HannahRKeyser, @AnthonyMcCarron & @EliseMenaker discuss it all on Baseball Night in New York https://t.co/ksavMAv4RU

Mets trade for All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor@APSE_sportmedia pic.twitter.com/kgEa7dH9ha
Metstradamus: New Kids in Town “This is 4/5ths the Gary Carter trade, and 1/5th the Mike Piazza trade. That final fifth is the part where people say “why did we trade for a shortstop when we had three shortstops?” Amed Rosario is a good player, and Andres Gimenez earned his status as a fan favorite. But nobody pines for Todd Hundley when they talk about Mike Piazza. Hundley was good on his own merit, but Mike Piazza is Mike Piazza.”
Brian Joura Mets360: “While shortstop wasn’t a big hole for the Mets, there’s no doubt that Lindor is an upgrade on the position. While he’s not as good offensively as Mookie Betts, a player to whom he’s frequently compared, Lindor should be a consistent 4-5 fWAR player and those guys simply don’t grow on trees.”
Joel Sherman NY Post: Mets just put themselves in the Yankees’ weight class.
Ken Davidoff NY Post: Francisco Lindor has everything to be face of Mets franchise.
David Lennon Newsday: Steve Cohen promised he would raise the bar for the Mets, and Francisco Lindor is proof of that. “the Steve Cohen Mets reminded everyone Thursday that being good is no longer good enough in Flushing.”
Mike Lupica Mets.com: Mets deliver with long-promised big deal. “Lindor makes the Mets a team to watch again, and who knows, maybe the team to watch in New York City this season. It was that kind of deal that Alderson made on Thursday, for a young star who plays shortstop and just turned 27. Alderson has made big deals before, and so have the Mets. Never has one felt any bigger than this.”
Bradford William Davis NY Daily News: The Mets fleeced Cleveland for Francisco Lindor. “With no shade to any of these four players leaving the Mets, none of them are Lindor and none of them should expect to be Lindor in the future.”
