That feels like a (very) invented argument. Don't know many Mets fans that don't love Delgado, don't know many that love McEwing. Beltran, on the other hand, was a fine player. He'll always get heat in my view for leaving his bat on his shoulder for one of the more important at bats in Mets history. That is what it is. His Astros nonsense doesn't help either. With respect to Lindor, it's hard to judge a fan base that isn't happy with a guy who hit .235 his first full year as a Met and is hitting .215 this year. That's just gross and that, along with his OPS numbers, are a far cry from what he used to do. A fine player but leading this franchise to a pennant does not seem to be in the cards. Mets need to focus on developing talent and not trading for and then signing players that another team is more than willing to give up. Cleveland does not regret trading Lindor. I guarantee it.
