Francisco Lindor is poised to embrace the inevitable boos as the Mets prepare for the 2025 All-Star Game at Truist Park in Atlanta. The anticipation is palpable, especially after Lindor’s recent comments regarding fellow player Juan Soto’s exclusion from the NL All-Star team, indicating he expects a mix of cheers and jeers from the Atlanta crowd.
The Mets will have a strong presence at this year’s All-Star game, showcasing their talent with four representatives: Lindor, Pete Alonso, Edwin Diaz, and David Peterson. This marks the most All-Stars the Mets have had since 2022, reflecting the team’s resurgence and competitiveness.
In a carefully constructed National League lineup filled with superstar talent, Lindor has been designated to bat eighth. He will be positioned between Kyle Tucker from the Cubs and Pete Crow-Armstrong, also from the Cubs, who is slated to conclude the batting order in ninth place. Notable players like Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuña Jr., and Ketel Marte will be leading off, creating an exciting atmosphere for fans and players alike.
This All-Star game not only highlights the individual talents of these players but also emphasizes the Mets’ growing prowess as a team. As fans gather in Atlanta, there’s hope for an exhilarating display of baseball that celebrates talent and sportsmanship.
The presence of Lindor and his Mets teammates is a sign of the team’s bright future and their commitment to excellence in Major League Baseball.
