PHILADELPHIA — Jay Bruce plays for the Phillies, but that doesn’t mean he wants his former team within the NL East to suffer.
The veteran outfielder indicated Tuesday he’s empathetic toward the Mets, who traded him to the Mariners last offseason as part of a roster refurbishment.
“It’s tough when you have a lot of expectations like the Mets and it seems like the team feels they went out and did what they thought was necessary in order to put a winning product on the field this year,” Bruce said before the Mets fell to the Phillies 7-5 at Citizens Bank Park.
