In recent years, especially during Spring Training, the name of <strong>Francisco Lindor<\/strong> emerged as a possible candidate due to his leadership and long-term contract. However, Cohen indicated that he never contemplated making a formal appointment.\n\n&#8220;The locker room changes every year. I prefer that the group resolves things internally instead of establishing a label,&#8221; explained the businessman, underlining that the captain figure is uncommon in current baseball.\n\nIn the club&#8217;s history, in addition to Wright, only <strong>Keith Hernandez<\/strong>, <strong>Gary Carter<\/strong> and <strong>John Franco<\/strong> have officially held that title. Currently, in Major League Baseball, only two teams maintain a formal captain: the Yankees with <strong>Aaron Judge<\/strong> and the Royals with <strong>Salvador Perez<\/strong>.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PORT ST.
