Despite not receiving an invite to the MLB All-Star Game earlier this summer, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor has continued to put up numbers that have put him squarely in the conversation for the National League’s Most Valuable Player award. In fact, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns had high praise for his veteran infielder when he spoke with the New York media on Sept. 3.
“It’s been an unbelievable season to watch,” Stearns said. “We’re getting to the point where we’re talking about perhaps the greatest individual position player season in the history of this franchise. I’ve been around some really special seasons, been around some MVP seasons. This is right up there with anything I’ve seen on a day-to-day basis.”
