Francisco Lindor probably won’t win the NL Silver Slugger at shortstop. An honor he took home in 2023 and 2024, his biggest rival at shortstop in the league feels more worthy this season. Despite being in a team rivalry with Trea Turner of the Philadelphia Phillies, the New York Mets shortstop feels like a personal yet friendly rivalry is brewing with the third Silver Slugger finalist.
Geraldo Perdomo of the Arizona Diamondbacks had an explosive season. He set multiple career highs, including 20 home runs and 100 RBI. His outrageous .851 OPS beat even what Lindor posted in 2024 as the NL MVP runner-up.
