Mets' Carlos Mendoza on if he sees Francisco Lindor being named team captain

Since becoming a member of the New York Mets four years ago, shortstop Francisco Lindor has solidified himself as the leader of the team. This has resulted in calls for him to become just the fifth team captain in franchise history.

When Lindor was asked about that possibility by reporters last week, he said it would be "an honor" to be named on that exclusive list. And on Friday, during an interview on WFAN's Sports Radio show Evan and Tiki, manager Carlos Mendoza was also asked about the chances of his star shortstop to be the team captain.

"I'm not gonna lie, I've had some conversations with David [Stearns], I haven't had any of those with Steve [Cohen], not sure if David had conversations with Steve but me and David talk about it," Mendoza said.

"He's already doing everything that a captain does, with the way he goes about his business, his actions, everything that he does off the field, not to mention what he does on the field. But watching guys, holding guys accountable, keeping it loose, keeping it fun but when it's go time it's go time...keeping it consistent, so that's what you want to see out of all of your players."
