Francisco Lindor's Public Appearance With Shakira is Turning Heads
When you're in New York City, there's no shortage of things to do. For Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor, finding entertainment in the Big Apple has never been an issue. The latest buzz? A night out featuring none other than Shakira, who was in town for her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. She performed Thursday night at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, home to both the New York Giants and Jets. Advertisement With a rare night off, Lindor attended the concert with his family. After the show, he and Shakira shared a brief meet-and-greet that has social media reacting. Major League Baseball shared a photo of the encounter on Friday, and fans immediately started weighing in with a mix of emotions. "Are they going to be together forever now?" questioned this fan. "He's going to end up pregnant." this fan joked. A joking fan said this: "Her hips now lie." Another fan poses a valid question: "Francisco Lindor and Shakira linking up?" "SHAKIRAAA (mixed feelings rn)." a big fan of the singer said. "STOP MY COLOMBIAN QUEEN DONT DO IT." was said here. New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (12)© Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Despite the social media storm, it's worth noting that Lindor is happily married to his wife Katia. The couple has been married for three years. Earlier Friday, Katia joked that instead of attending a Shakira concert, they were at a 'Kalina concert.' Advertisement Kalina, their eldest daughter, is known for her love of music and often puts on her own performances at home. Lindor joined the Mets in 2021 and has since established himself as one of the game's elite shortstops. He's a four-time MLB All-Star, has earned two Gold Gloves and is a four-time Silver Slugger winner, including in 2024. So far this season, Lindor is batting .297 with nine home runs and 26 RBIs. His hot start is helping the Mets hold onto first place in the NL East. This weekend marks the first part of the Subway Series, with the Yankees hosting a three-game set against the Mets. The 28-16 Mets and 25-18 Yankees both sit atop their respective divisions, making this New York showdown one of the most anticipated weekends of the early season.

NL Title Contender Makes Roster Move On Former Yankees Pitcher
Former New York Yankees pitcher Lou Trivino's long-awaited return to the majors proved to be short-lived. The San Francisco Giants designated Trivino, 33, for assignment on Sunday. The longtime Athletics reliever posted a 5.84 ERA and 11-5 K-BB ratio across 12.1 innings for the Giants. Advertisement Trivino allowed four home runs against 54 batters. However, the veteran righty recorded scoreless outings in four of his last five games for a 22-13 Giants team that woke up Monday only 1.5 games out of first place in the NL West. San Francisco subsequently promoted lefty Kyle Harrison from Triple-A Sacramento. San Francisco Giants pitcher Lou TrivinoRobert Edwards-Imagn Images Trivino missed the last two seasons with elbow injuries, undergoing Tommy John surgery in May 2023. Before a scoreless March 29 outing against the Cincinnati Reds, Trivino hadn't pitched in the big leagues since Oct. 22, 2022, in a Game 3 ALCS loss to the Houston Astros. At that point, Trivino was wrapping up a stellar half-season with the Yankees. Trivino recorded a sterling 1.66 ERA over 21.2 innings with the Yankees that summer, and he then tallied four scoreless outings during the Bronx Bombers' playoff run. Advertisement A 2013 11th-round pick, Trivino owns a 3.94 ERA in 297 career innings for the Giants, Athletics, and Yankees. We'll see if the Yankees attempt bringing him back, now that he's finally healthy, or if Trivino is headed for another team's bullpen.

KANGAR: Perlis police seized 409 kilogrammes (kg) of cannabis worth RM1,297,900 abandoned by furtive smugglers in a fibre-glass boat during a raid at the river estuary in Kuala Sungai Baru, Simpang Empat, on Tuesday (April 29). Perlis police chief Datuk Muhammad Abdul Halim stated that the seizure in Kuala Perlis was made after police received information about a suspicious boat without a registration number at 2 pm, suspected to be shipping drugs as smugglers from a neighbouring country turn to maritime routes for trafficking. 'A combined task force of the Kuala Perlis police station, the Kedah/Perlis Marine Intelligence Unit, the Narcotics Criminal Investigation Division of Kangar District and officers from Simpang Empat police station conducted surveillance and lay in hiding for two hours in the vicinity of the unnumbered boat. 'When no one approached the solitary boat, the task force closed in to inspect the boat, which revealed many boxes containing compressed dried leaves suspected to be cannabis. The boat was then taken back to the Kuala Perlis police station for further action,' he said at the Kangar district police headquarters (IPD) today.
