The extension, according to USA TODAY’s Bob Nightengale, will begin in 2022 and has no opt-outs.

Francisco Lindor's deal is 10-years, $341 million, beginning in 2022. So it's the second-longest extension behind only Mookie Betts of the #Dodgers, and $1 million more than Tatis received with the #Padres. @JeffPassan first with the exact figure.

Lindor said he did not want to discuss an extension during the Major League Baseball season, which begins Thursday. So it looks like the two sides came to an agreement just in time.
