The Mets’ fan base hails standout shortstop Francisco Lindor as ‘Mr. Smile and future MVP’ as they ring in the new year with loved ones

It’s safe to assume that four-time All-Star Francisco Lindor, affectionately known as “Mr. Smile” by his fans, is planning to have a banner year in 2024. A video of the New York Mets shortstop’s family celebrating the conclusion of 2023 was released on X by SNY Mets, along with the caption:

Many X fans have already predicted that the Puerto Rican star will have an MVP season.

My best wishes for the coming year! A potential MVP and Mr. Smile! Holy cow!

Francisco Lindor is enjoying quality time with his family, despite his potential that could propel the Mets to greatness in 2024.

Katia Reguero and Francisco Lindor cherish winter as a unique season.

Since many of Francisco Lindor and Katia Reguero’s accomplishments have occurred in the latter half of the year, winter must have a special meaning for them.

Katia performs classical violin and also produces “The Un-a-Parent Podcast,” in which she delves into the hidden truths of parenting. While playing for the Cleveland Indians, Lindor became friends with Katia through social media. During an interview with the New York Post in 2022, he stated:

“I sent her an Instagram message. “This girl is gorgeous!” I thought as soon as her photo appeared.”I was out in Arizona for spring training when we met, after talking for three months,” he explained. It was after our brief time together that I thought, ‘I believe she’s the one.’ I was hesitant to commit at first, but I soon realized that she was the one.

The happy couple’s daughter, Kalina, was born in November 2020. A year and a half after Lindor proposed the following month, in December of 2020, the happy couple tied the knot. Amapola Chloé, their second daughter, was born in June 2023.

Just a few days ago, Lindor and Katia marked two years of marriage. Katia posted a string of images to Instagram with the following caption:

Two years of marriage to the love of my life. We have had a wonderful 730 days together as your ~legal~ partner, full of learning, understanding, joy, sadness, and shared aspirations.

Lindor has Mets fans’ high hopes for a 2024 championship season, and it will be fascinating to watch if he can deliver.
