Port St. Lucy – The full offseason where he rested his hips was Francisco Lindor felt “great” so if he can help it, he won't resort to the Mets shortstop leaving the game this season Please do.
After manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters on Saturday he needed to discuss plans for this season with Lindor regarding a potential day off, Shortstop entered the Clover Park interview room to cite his review. It was provided.
“MLB does an amazing job of postponing days on the calendar,” Lindor says.
Lindor was feeling uncomfortable when he ended the game in Philadelphia on September 13th, and was pacing to play all of last year's regular season.
Lindor missed his next game and was deleted early the next day. This was the last time I played until I came back two weeks later.
The best wasn't yet coming as Lindor took home in Atlanta's nine innings on the final day of the regular season, leading the wild comeback that pushed the Mets into the playoffs.
In the postseason, Lindor was one of the most productive players on the team with .877 OPS.
Lindor said he would not set a goal of playing 162 games this season, but he also said he would not rule out the possibility.
“If it feels good, I'm going to play,” he said. “I take a lot of pride in the fact that I post up and get the team available to me, and that's what I've always said. For example, I want to play 162. But if that happens, it happens.
“It doesn't matter if you play 150 or 160 last month. [games]. We all feel the same way. August is the same hit for everyone. Who was the one who ground it?
Lindor, who voted behind National League MVP Shohei Ohtani, came in second place, arrived at Camp last year and boldly stated that he thought the Mets were a playoff team. Team owner Steve Cohen and baseball business president David Stearns.
This offseason, the Mets added one of the game's premier stars with Juan Soto (a 15-year deal worth $765 million) and re-signed Pete Alonso (2 years, $54 million).
Lindor was asked if he was forecasting this year.
“We have a really good team,” Lindor said. “The opportunity in front of us is amazing, but I was on a team that had high expectations that I had little high expectations.
“I think Stearns, Steve and the rest of the front office, Mendy, did an amazing job bringing in the right groups this offseason. There were a lot of decisions they had to make to fill the roster. Yes, they feel they did a really good job. Certainly, it's going to be a very interesting year and a fun year.”
With a $341 million contract throughout the 2031 season, Linder seems like an obvious choice to become a team captain if the Mets choose to award such honors to players. .
However, Lindor is not trying to lobby the title. David Wright, who retired after the 2018 season, was the Mets' final captain. Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter and John Franco are others.
“I feel like I'm one of the leaders on the team, but there are a lot of leaders,” Lindor said. “captain Francisco Lindor ready to go full tilt for Mets after 2024 back injury It's something I can't decide. When that happens, it will be great. It is an honor and a privilege. That's something I never take for granted. It will put me forever next to the greats of this organization, and it will be very humble. ”
