You're a young player, still a relatively young player.
I know you're making $20 million a year.
You're new to the match.
You don't know Mendy that well, and you just saw Lindor get benched.
Do you think that affects him?
Do you think that maybe makes him think the next time he doesn't run out of ground at a shortstop?
I think he probably says, that's BS.
Why is he doing that?
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So you think it works the other way?

So you're saying this would have destroyed the locker room?

It's like...

I know this didn't work out necessarily, but Jerry Manuel was the interim manager for the Mets, became their permanent manager.
He replaced Willie Randolph when Willie was fired.
And it was either his second or third game as manager of the Mets, and he benched Jose Reyes for not running a ball out.
