Francisco Lindor respects Mets owner Steve Cohen's decision to forgo a team captain. "I respect it. This is definitely a Steve, front-office type decision," Lindor states. The five-time All-Star emphasizes that whether named captain or not, his approach remains unchanged. "I’m glad he put everything to bed. Let’s move on," he adds.
Entering his sixth season with the Mets, Lindor is recovering from surgery on a broken hamate bone in his left hand, casting doubt on his opening day status. Cohen asserts that a captain isn't necessary, allowing the clubhouse to determine its own leaders. "My view is every year the team’s different," he explains.
Last season, Lindor recorded an MLB-high 762 plate appearances, hitting .267 with 31 homers and 86 RBIs. He was excluded from Puerto Rico's World Baseball Classic roster due to insurance issues.
