An injury to Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts should open the door for New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor to make his way onto the 2024
Jul 7, 2024; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor runs the bases on his way to scoring a run against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the eighth inning at PNC Park. The Mets won 3-2. Mandatory Credit: Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports National League All-Star team — but the fact that he was not there initially is one of the more egregious snubs of MLB’s Midsummer Classic selection process.
Should one decide to point solely at his offensive numbers, it is important to note that Lindor has been one of the most consistent hitters in baseball since May 18 when he was moved into the lead-off spot full-time. Over his last 45 games, he is batting .296 with an .877 OPS, eight home runs, 24 RBI, and 18 doubles.It is understandable that Lindor was not named a starter.
Of course, Lindor opted to take the high road when asked about not making it and watching his teammate, Pete Alonso, get the Mets’ lone bid to the All-Star Game.
