According to an otherwise https://theathletic.com/4854008/2023/09/21/mets-mlb-season-record-trajectory-performance/wide-reaching Athletic story on the Mets failed aspirations this season, Tommy Pham quotes himself as telling Francisco Lindor, "Out of all the teams I played on, this is the least-hardest working group of position players I've ever played with." Pham goes on to counter that he had "a lot of respect for the work ethics of" Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Brandon Nimmo, so that kind gets them off the hook while mostly leaving Jeff McNeil under that bus, along with maybe some combination of Francisco Álvarez, Brett Baty, Mark Canha, Tim Locastro, Luis Guillorme, Starling Marte, Omar Narváz, Tomás Nido, and the like. Álvarez has been relentlessly praised for his work ethic in other quarters, for whatever that's worth. Due disclosure: I'm not an Athletic subscriber, so I'm paywalled out of the article and just reading the juicy bits second-hand and out of context.
