LUCIE, Florida \u2013 New York Mets owner Steve Cohen has made his stance on the team&#8217;s captaincy clear.\nCohen was emphatic in stating that, as long as he remains at the head of the organization, a captain will not be appointed.\nThis decision, according to Cohen, is based on his vision of how the team should function.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cAs long as I&#8217;m the owner, there will be no captain\u201d,<\/p><cite>Steve Cohen<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nCohen prefers that leadership emerge naturally within the locker room.\nThe Mets haven&#8217;t had a captain since David Wright left, who held the position between 2013 and 2018.\nIn recent times, especially during Spring Training, Francisco Lindor&#8217;s name has resonated as a possible candidate due to his leadership and long-term contract. However, Cohen never considered a formal designation.\nCohen argued that the wardrobe evolves every year and that he prefers the group to manage matters internally rather than establish a label.\nFurthermore, the businessman highlighted that the figure of the captain is uncommon in current baseball.\nIn the club&#8217;s history, apart from Wright, only Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter, and John Franco have been captains. Currently, in Major League Baseball, only two teams have a formal captain: the Yankees with Aaron Judge and the Royals with Salvador Perez.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Cohen: No Captain on the Mets While He&#8217;s the Owner PORT ST.
