Jeff McNeil sending Francisco Lindor subtle reminders about new car promise for winning batting title

Back in May of 2022, Francisco Lindor told his double play partner Jeff McNeil that if he were to win the National League batting title, Lindor would gift him a car as his form of congratulations.

A generous proposal, even considering Lindor had recently signed a $341 million extension.


Now, nearly a year later, and after McNeil signed a contract extension of his own, McNeil is still waiting for that gift.

"I knew that was coming eventually," McNeil laughed when asked about the car status. "Still don't have a car, so we'll see what happens in spring training."

McNeil hit .326 last season to claim the batting title, and earned a $50 million extension in the process, and while he is still waiting for that car he earned from Lindor, that hasn't stopped him from sending subtle reminders to his teammate.

"I did send Lindor a pretty good video of some very nice cars the other day," McNeil said. "If it's any one of those, I'm sure it will be up to my standards."
