New York Mets star Francisco Lindor has been nominated for this year’s National League Most Valuable Player award. After a disastrous start to the year, Lindor turned his season around in mid-May after transitioning to the leadoff spot. The star shortstop carried much of the load for the team and successfully led the Mets to the NLCS.
Lindor has been nominated for the award alongside Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani and Arizona Diamondbacks’ Ketel Marte. There has been a lot of talk regarding which superstar deserves to be crowned as the MVP. But nothing comes close to what MLB Network analyst and New York Mets Hall of Famer Ron Darling compared Lindor’s magical season to.
In the network’s program featuring Tom Verducci and Greg Amsinger, Darling compared Francisco Lindor to the leader of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama.
