Francisco Lindor<\/a> is one of the most respected voices inside the New York Mets clubhouse, and he recently revealed an important insight into how the environment truly works, emphasizing that while not all teammates are best friends, they fully support one another.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a recent press conference, Lindor was direct. \u201cAre we all best friends? That\u2019s not how it works in the clubhouse. But we are friends \u2014 we\u2019re good teammates, we care for each other, we love each other, and we want the best for each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lindor\u2019s comments echo sentiments previously expressed by new Mets infielder Marcus Semien<\/a>, who recently emphasized the importance of open communication within the team. \u201cWhen there needs to be something said, don\u2019t be afraid to say it, but don\u2019t force it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Juan Soto wants a clean clubhouse for 2026<\/p>\n

Juan Soto didn\u2019t go into much detail about the Mets<\/a> clubhouse culture, but he did make it clear that he and his teammates want a fresh start for the 2026 season, focusing on winning and leaving off-field distractions behind.<\/p>\n

\u201cJuan Soto, when asked if the Mets clubhouse was too corporate last year, and how they will prevent that from happening this year: \u2018That\u2019s in the past. We forget about it. We\u2019re focused on 2026. Have fun, forget about all the drama and everything. Win some ballgames,\u2019\u201d reported SleeperMets on X (@sleepermets).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that last season there weren\u2019t any major clubhouse dramas reported, but when Brandon Nimmo was traded to the Rangers, it became public that there were some differences between him and Lindor over who should be the team captain. With Nimmo\u2019s departure, that issue now seems firmly in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Francisco Lindor is one of the most respected voices inside the New York Mets clubhouse, and he recently…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":559719,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2396],"tags":[5,227,101,4,1690,61,2548,4203],"class_list":{"0":"post-575530","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-mets","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-francisco-lindor","10":"tag-mets","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-mets","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkmets"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116080451400018540","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=575530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575530\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=575530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=575530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=575530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
