Francisco Lindor

There was a lot of change for the Mets this offseason.

What stood out to you as far as the moves that this club made in an effort to get better from last year?

Last year we talked a lot about protection, a lot of protection behind you.

Without Pete Alonso this year, what do you make of that?

behind you?

And as far as defensively, what did you think of your season defensively last year?

And is that a point of emphasis this spring, just working defensively?

Juan, in terms of actually playing the positions, is there a major difference in your mind between left field and right field, how you go about your business?

When you had those initial conversations about switching, I guess, how did they sell you on it?

What was the reasoning in their minds that they wanted you to do it?

Juan, as good as your numbers have been to date, they're historic.

Last year you added the stolen base as a weapon.

Do you think that there's still more room for other aspects of your game, and what are the things that you're looking to improve on this year?

Juan, how would you describe your relationship with Francisco Lindor?

Carlos Mendoza has described the clubhouse last year as maybe getting a little bit too corporate at times.

What was your perception of it?

Focusing on 2026, how could you maybe prevent that from happening this time around?
