Sal: Brandon Nimmo has to emerge as 'clear leader' to help Mets' core problem

Sal has long believed that the Mets have a core issue within the clubhouse, and believes the unquestioned leader of the team needs to be Brandon Nimmo.

So, for the Mets to be best set up for success, Sal says Nimmo has to take command, and other veterans like Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor need to let the outfielder do so.


"It is abundantly clear to me that Brandon Nimmo is the leader of this team," Sal said. "Nimmo has shown this since he's been here, but maybe now more than ever ready to take that next step.

"I believe the big personalities of Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor have gotten in the way of Nimmo being the true leader and eventual captain of this team."

Sal has long expressed his concerns about the Mets clubhouse and the need for true leadership, and Sal says Nimmo is the real leader, and that needs to be made clear in the clubhouse moving forward for the Mets to generate an identity and show more fight and emotion than they did in 2023.

"For this team to have the ultimate success moving forward, their core group, Brandon Nimmo has to be the guy to be the clear leader, and eventually be named captain of the New York Mets."
