Francisco Lindor

a

goof? Is like Francisco Lindor playing shortstop going to like juggle the ball after he catches it before throwing it to first base? What is the point? Why would you make fun of something that's serious?

I hear you saying that, but I will say that, again, I want to make sure it's not just them.

I mean, WWE does similar

And that's why they were terrible.

So if you get a bounce back from some of those big money guys, you know, Bichette, Lindor, obviously Soto maybe, you know, unlocks and goes into, you know, what he's truly worth, then sure, like you can kind of count on them to maybe be a little bit better.

The Orioles, I honestly adamantly disagree with.

That's what I'm pretty passionate about.

So any of these guys could fit into that role.

I think the Mets would likely want to keep DH slightly open, more of a platoon role, so that they could DH Lindor.

They could DH Bichette.

They could DH Soto.

Now, some of that is just Bo Bichette being better.

Some of that is, it's not going to be Mark Vientos, but a right-handed bat that's going to platoon with Jared Young or, dare I say, be the first baseman, which I prefer.

Some of that is Lindor not only being healthier, but being better from the right side.

Remember, Lindor had his issues batting from the right side last year, and you have to think that will improve.

A few awards were actually given out.

Francisco Lindor became, I'm not sure what number, but the first Met, since I want to say Carlos Delgado, to win the Roberto Clemente Award for his off-the-field work.

It's a very notable award, even though it's not performance-based.

But congrats to Francisco.

365 for over eight.

If you're able to get him at that, again, we spoke, you mentioned before about money coming off the books.

Outside of arbitration eligible players, No one outside of Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor are owed money beyond 2028.

And I just keep thinking back to the Andrew Friedman quote.

Did you see the

Lindor video? That was so emasculating.

Lindor's wife threw like a sort of like they have the gender reveal.

things now that's very popular he had a vasectomy and she made like all little cute little things with like candy and did like a whole video like she emasculated him it was very interesting

like I've been I have four kids very blessed healthy kids and I looked at my wife she got pregnant now my wife would have had nine kids

I think the way he handles himself before and after games, and I think the way he managed, and the respect that he has from the...

Clearly, because Soto and Lindor signed off on it.

And his relationship with these younger players, having really been a part of their maturation process...

And I don't put any stock in what Andy Green did in San Diego.

You've got Soto.

You've got Lindor.

You've got Bichette.

So he's not even in the forefront of the mentality of people there.
