Darryl Strawberry is speaking out about what he says is his former Mets teammate Dwight Gooden’s rampant cocaine use.
Strawberry said he spoke out to John Harper of the Daily News, because he fears Gooden will soon die if he doesn’t stop abusing cocaine, saying “I have to try something before he’s dead.”
“He’s a complete junkie-addict,” Strawberry said. “I’ve been trying behind the scenes to talk to him and get him to go for help, but he won’t listen. He thinks he can manipulate and BS his way through everything. His son called me to beg me to help his dad before he dies.
