It took over a year, but Francisco Lindor has finally fulfilled his promise to teammate Jeff McNeil.
After promising McNeil a new car if he won the 2022 National League batting title, Lindor followed through last week, as McNeil is now sporting a brand new blue Ford Bronco, via Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
Lindor made the promise early in the 2022 season, and McNeil went on to bat .326 on the season, beating out Freddie Freeman by a single percentage point to take home the title. The Mets shortstop didn't reveal much about the car promise to his double play partner in the year that followed, simply saying he would come through on his guarantee, and now, he has.
McNeil took a step back in 2023, batting .270 while posting a below average .711 OPS.
