LUCIE, Florida \u2013 New York Mets owner Steve Cohen has confirmed that there will be no captain on the team under his management.\n\nDuring a session at Clover Park, Cohen explained that this decision is based on his philosophy about the team&#8217;s internal dynamics. &#8220;As long as I&#8217;m the owner, there will be no captain,&#8221; he stated, emphasizing his preference for leadership that emanates spontaneously within the locker room.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The wardrobe changes every year. I prefer that the group resolves things internally instead of establishing a label.<\/p><cite>Steve Cohen<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe Mets haven&#8217;t had a captain since David Wright, who was captain between 2013 and 2018, retired. In recent years, especially during Spring Training, Francisco Lindor&#8217;s name has been considered as a possible candidate due to his leadership and his long-term contract. However, Cohen has indicated that he never considered a formal designation.\n\nCohen also pointed out that the figure of the captain is uncommon in today&#8217;s baseball. In the history of the Mets, only Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter, and John Franco have been captains. Currently, only two teams in Major League Baseball have a formal captain: the Yankees with Aaron Judge and the Royals with Salvador Perez.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Cohen Rules Out Naming a Captain for the Mets PORT ST.
