The Mets and Francisco Lindor are still talking, with fewer than 72 hours left to negotiate.
Shortly after SNY's Andy Martino reported that the Mets offered the shortstop a $325 million deal over 10 years, Lindor reportedly countered with a more lucrative and longer offer.
Lindor's counter is a 12-year deal worth $385 million.
What Lindor is looking for would be the second-richest contract in baseball history, behind only Mike Trout's $426,500,000 deal over 12 seasons, and would beat Mookie Betts' deal by $20 million. The Mets' offer would be tied for the fifth-richest, behind Bryce Harper and Fernando Tatis Jr., and tied with Giancarlo Stanton.
Lindor's counteroffer would save the Mets roughly $416,666 per year.
