mlive.comAfter years of tormenting Tigers, Francisco Lindor heads to NL
Francisco Lindor’s days of tormenting the Detroit Tigers are over, at least for now. The Cleveland Indians traded Lindor, a four-time All-star at shortstop, and Carlos Carrasco, a veteran pitcher, to the New York Mets for a package of prospects on Thursday. Carrasco was no pushover, either, going 12-9 with a 3.56 ERA in 31 games (25 starts) against the Tigers, striking out 147 in 149. Greene and Wolf won’t arrive in the big leagues for a couple years, but Gimenez, 22, and Rosario, 25, should be regulars in the lineup. Rosario is the brother-in-law of Tigers shortstop Willi Castro, who finished fourth in AL Rookie of the Year balloting in 2020.
