Andy Martino notes that the Mets cooled on Springer after acquiring Francisco Lindor.

All signs are pointing to Jays landing top target George Springer. They have bid $125M-plus and seem determined to close the deal. Would be a shocker if Mets rallied now. <a href="https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Joelsherman1</a> used the phrase “closing in”

Another update, this time from Jon Heyman, saying the Jays have a bid that the Mets likely won&#8217;t match&#8230;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Outfielder George Springer and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a deal, sources familiar with the situation tell ESPN. 
Springer is headed to Dunedin for a physical. And if all goes according to plan, Toronto will get the star it’s been looking for all winter.
