Francisco Lindor offered his farewell to two of his former teammates Saturday via social media.
The Mets’ All-Star shortstop posted separate stories on his Instagram account to say goodbye to free-agent defectors Edwin Díaz and Pete Alonso, who signed this week with the Dodgers and the Orioles, respectively.
“Te quiero, mi hermano. Thank you,” Lindor wrote in a post to Díaz, with the Spanish part translating to “I love you, my brother.”
Lindor also wrote “thank you” in his Alonso story, beneath the caption, “Much love.”
Díaz signed a three-year deal worth $69 million to become the Dodgers’ closer, while Alonso landed a five-year deal worth $155 million with Baltimore.
Earlier in the offseason, the Mets traded outfielder Brandon Nimmo to Texas for second baseman Marcus Semien.
They also had signed former Yankees reliever Devin Williams, before adding infielder/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on Saturday for two years and $40 million.
Lindor has six years remaining on his 10-year, $341 million deal.
