Francisco Lindor swiftly rejoined the Mets after the birth of his son, Koa Amani, demonstrating his dedication to the team. Though MLB permits up to three days of paternity leave, Lindor returned to the bench during the team’s victory against the Marlins. His manager, Carlos Mendoza, acknowledged Lindor's leadership qualities, emphasizing his focus on contributing to the team's success. Previously, Lindor had a notable performance shortly after the birth of his second child. Additionally, the Mets made roster moves, trading outfielder Alexander Canario due to fit issues.
Manager Carlos Mendoza was hardly surprised that Lindor immediately rejoined the team. 'This is a guy that wants to show, and wants to perform and help the team,' Mendoza said.
Lindor told The Post, 'I wasn't having the baby - my wife did. She said it was OK to leave, and I left.'
Lindor missed a start for the Mets following the birth of his second daughter but returned swiftly, homering in his first at-bat the next day.
The Mets traded outfielder Alexander Canario to the Pirates for cash considerations, as he was not a roster fit.
