Francisco Lindor Breaks Silence After Steve Cohen Makes Decison On Vacant Mets Captain Role

The New York Mets start a new chapter this year after moving several superstars off their roster during the offseason. With many cornerstones of the team no longer in New York, Francisco Lindor was supposedly in line to become the official captain of the Mets. But team owner Steve Cohen announced that the role will remain vacant as long as he is in charge.

Francisco Lindor responded to the announcement, saying he has no issues regarding the decision from New York Mets owner Steve Cohen. Lindor declared that he will continue to be a leader of the team, just as he did in the past. He is glad that Cohen put the matter to rest permanently, so the players can focus on their performance on the field.

“I respect it,” Francisco Lindor told reporters on Thursday morning. “This is definitely a Steve, front-office-type decision. I respect it. At the end of the day, being named captain or not, I’m still going to act the same. This is not something that’s going to make me somebody different. So I respect it. I’m glad he put everything to bed so that way we can stop talking about this. And move on.”
