Mets owner Steve Cohen announced that the team will not have a captain during his ownership, emphasizing that the locker room dynamics should dictate leadership. Francisco Lindor, previously speculated to be a potential captain, expressed respect for Cohen’s decision, stating it won’t change his approach to the game. The Mets have had only four captains since their inception in 1962, with David Wright being the last from 2013 to 2018. Currently, only two MLB teams have captains: Aaron Judge of the Yankees and Salvador Perez of the Royals.
