Francisco Lindor shrugs off speculations about impending birth of son impacting his performance

If not for Shohei Ohtani's heroics, Francisco Lindor would have won the NL MVP last year. However, Lindor has been slow to begin the 2025 season. In three games thus far, Lindor has not been able to hit once, let alone belt a home run. He is 0-11 (.000) with one RBI.

Amid this, one reporter dared to ask him if his sluggish performance had to do with the impending birth of his son.

“It's life, you know," Lindor said. "I'm sure I'm not the only one going through it. So there's no excuses. There was no baby last year, I was in the same spot. So this is not my kid's fault. It's not my wife's fault. You know, it's just. I own up to it, I didn't get any hits."

With the arrival of the new boy, many expected Lindor to take off for some time. However, the shortstop rejoined the Mets camp just one day after becoming a father for the third time. He's expected to feature in the Mets' game against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday.
