Mets owner Steve Cohen has ruled out the possibility of naming a team captain, stating that the locker room dynamics should determine leadership organically. Despite speculation linking star shortstop Francisco Lindor to the captaincy, Cohen emphasized that having a captain in baseball is uncommon and he prefers to approach team management differently than previous ownership. Lindor, along with players like Brandon Nimmo and Pete Alonso, was considered a potential captain, but recent roster changes have shifted team dynamics. Cohen believes fostering a positive locker room environment is more beneficial than designating a formal captain.
