New York Mets star Francisco Lindor weighed in on the team’s massive signing of slugger Juan Soto.

MLB.com quoted Lindor as he talked about his impressions of his newest teammate.

“It wasn’t like, ‘Francisco Lindor made this happen.' No, that’s not how it goes,” Lindor said.

Lindor’s comments alluded to speculation that he had openly recruited Soto to join the Mets. Lindor addressed the matter by saying:

“This is something that they probably talked through many times before they brought it up to me, and once they brought it up to me, I listened, and I said, ‘Well, I like the plan. Let’s see how everything plays out.’”
