At Mets Spring Training in February 2024, Star Shortstop Francisco Lindor started working out at Clover Park, the Mets Spring Training Facility, weeks before position players were to report. The four-time MLB All-Star was commuting every other day from his home in Orlando, Florida, to Port Saint Lucie to prepare for the 2024 season. After one of his early workouts, Lindor sat down with FOX 5 NY Sports Anchor Tina Cervasio – his first long format interview with FOX 5 NY. When the interviewed aired on Sports Xtra, Sunday, Feb. 25, a prominent New York Baseball Announcer reached out … and said, “This interview with Lindor was spectacular!! Real warm and just mesmerizing! He came off really human … he doesn’t always … that’s the Lindor, that Buck (Showalter) loved!” That response inspired this FOX 5 series, Sports Xtra Xtra. Many of Tina’s interviews with players, coaches and prominent sports figures can go as long as 20 minutes, but we only get to air 5-to-7 minute segments. So many comments, reflections and answers are left on the cutting room floor. But now, starting with Lindor, we are bringing you the full version – something XTRA from Sports Xtra.
