NEW YORK — Last October, Francisco Lindor and Mets hitting coach Eric Chavez sat down to pause and reflect on the star shortstop's 2024 season. The Mets had just clinched a playoff berth. Lindor had just put a bow on an MVP-caliber season, finishing the year with the second-highest WAR in the National League. It was his best year in a Mets uniform. But Chavez wanted to talk about April. Lindor is familiar with going through slow starts since he joined the Mets.

Francisco Lindor looks busy. It's early April, and we're standing in the middle of a conference room in an eight-story building in the West Village. There are hundreds of baseball cards in front of Lindor with his face, name, and the Mets logo on them. To his left, someone slides a card along the large conference table. He takes about two seconds to sign it before someone on his right collects the thick cardstock and adds it to a growing stack.

NEW YORK — For the first time in his professional career, Aaron Judge wore a baseball hat that represented something other than the New York Yankees.

Remember last week when Shohei Ohtani flexed on his bobblehead night? Apparently he started a trend because another All-Star decided to give the fans what they came for on Saturday night. Speaking of fans, over the weekend we saw a repeat of Mookie Betts' World Series Glove Gate, when an Astros fan decided to rip the ball out of Mike Trout's glove following a catch in foul territory on Saturday in Houston. Later, Trout met up with that same fan, signed the ball and made sure there was no love lost.
