The rivalry is on. When Zack Wheeler signed with the Philadelphia Phillies this winter, we knew he would become a heel in the New York Mets world. What we didn’t expect was for some bitterness to brew about how things ended in New York.
Earlier this winter, Wheeler had some harsh words for Brodie Van Wagenen in response to the comments he made about the former Mets’ pitcher and his price tag.
More recently, Wheeler expressed his displeasure with the team’s lack of interest this winter. Specifically, Wheeler never heard back from them when offers began to come in.
