As a five-time All-Star, the New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor I’ve never had to worry about being cut from the team – but being cut is a different story.
“Three beautiful children later, we decided our family is complete. ❤️,” said Lindor’s wife, Katia Lindorwrote via Instagram on Wednesday, October 14, revealing that her husband recently underwent a vasectomy. “I’ve carried the babies, now it was his turn to bring one to the team. 😂🙌🏽 Thank you, babies! 🥰.”
The accompanying video featured the text, “POV: It’s vasectomy time,” a cover of NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” played in the background. During the video, Katia, 32, can be seen holding up various snacks, with names she prepared by taping a paper picture of sperm over some of the words to create a vasectomy theme.
Some of the best pictures in the post were “Worry Free Lays” potato chips, Ahoy “Snips” and “Now Shooting” Duds (instead of milk duds).
She held up a card at the beginning saying, “Snip Snip Hooray! It’s Vasectomy Day.”
Francisco, 32, and Katia married in December 2021 after welcoming their first child, daughter Kalina, the year before. They have since welcomed two more children, daughter Angelina, 3, and son Koa, 19 months.

Katia Lindor/InstagramWhile Francisco is so tied to the 2026 American League Championship Series, he seems willing to make the sacrifice. He moved to Us last July about Katia, saying he got married.
“Someone once told me that the most successful people have another man next to them,” Francisco said. “Man, that’s so true. I always say I married up. For her to be the rock of the house, to take care of the kids. She’s an extension of me. I’m an extension of her. We’re raising these kids to be the best person they can be. We try to teach and pass on the values that we have.”
He continued, “She’s been amazing. Family is everything. Good days become better days with the family and bad days become good days. It might be a cliche thing to say, but really, my kids don’t really care what I do on the field. They just want their dad. In a world where it’s all about results, with my kids and my wife, it’s not that.
Without the worry of pregnancy, Francisco can now turn to regaining the functionality of his wooden bat. The four-time Silver Slugger had arguably the worst offensive season of his career, hitting .225 with a .733 OPS in 105 games.
