The New York Mets withdrew the number 5 of David Wright earlier this month, and the Francisco Lindor star campocort had a front row for the ceremony.
Lindor, 31, said it was “very great” to see the number of retired Wright. The five times All-Star spoke with Pak Gazette Digital about Wright’s special day, and what would mean for him if one day was called captain.

“It was special to see him, how much he put in this franchise and how fans were returning him.”
Lindor is a logical option to be the next captain of the Mets, and Wright spoke very well about the star campocorto before his Jersey retirement ceremony.
“I love Francisco Lindor,” Wright said through Sports Illustrated. “I got to know him in recent years. I recently discovered that he played wounded at the end of the season with an injury in his hand, and nobody knew it. He never said anything because he wanted to be there by moving with his boys.”

“(Captaincy is something) would not take for granted and something that would not take light, that would be a great honor,” said Lindor.

“It would be an honor and privilege, I would not change the way I am, I would be doing the same, I would only continue walking along the path they established, and simply be as I like, a great privilege, a great honor,” Lindor said.
