There's a lot going on in this group: the Lindor trade and signing; Covid; Porter allegations and firing. The Post's "Lin It" cover is creepy.

"NO REMORSE" and "BAD JUDGMENT" are headlines not related to the Mets, and yet they seem so appropriate.

"Lin it to win it!" is a good one!

The fuzzy Zoom call pix are an unwitting artifact of these times, lending them a certain emotional resonance.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

Agree with everything about this.

In a way, this group of photos sums up 2021. Lindor. Scandals. Covid.

This is wild! How are you finding all these newspaper covers?

I liked the one of Lindor in his Mets uniform -- or what I'm guessing is a Photoshopped Mets uniform.

Was there only one available photo of Porter or did all three dailies just do a screen grab from the same Zoom press conference?

Based on the varieties in color, brightness, and resolution, it sure seems like the latter.
