Francisco Lindor

The Mets' shortstop recently shared his thoughts on new superstar teammate Juan Soto, whose prowess at the plate and energy in the clubhouse will provide a boost for years to come.

Lindor said Wednesday that the back injury he dealt with in September has not been an issue during offseason workouts, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The landmark contract, which represents the largest financial commitment in professional sports history, is now official. Soto heads to the Mets to complement Francisco Lindor as their franchise cornerstones for at least the next half-decade. The 26-year-old generational talent isn't immune to environmental factors as it's worth noting that the move from Yankee Stadium to Citi Field might result in fewer round-trippers per season, but we're comfortable locking in a 35-homer floor as his baseline until further notice. It's possible last year's 41-homer explosion was his career apex, but even baking in some regression, he's among the most impactful five-category superstars in the entire fantasy landscape.

Acuna made an unexpectedly strong impression during last season's brief cameo with the Mets, slashing .308/.325/.641 with three homers in 14 contests after posting a pedestrian .654 OPS with seven homers and 40 steals in 131 games for Triple-A Syracuse. The 22-year-old's prospect stock has tumbled over the last few years, but there's enough speed here that he could wind up mattering for fantasy purposes in deeper mixed leagues, if he's getting regular at-bats for New York. That is going to be a challenge with Francisco Lindor at shortstop indefinitely, but the Mets could get creative next season to give him opportunities to make an impact.
