On Thursday, Zack Wheeler publicly took a shot at the New York Mets. When asked if he was disappointed about not receiving a contract offer from them, the right-hander responded that he wasn’t surprised because “it’s them. It’s how they roll.”
Wheeler was clearly talking about how New York continuously fails to spend money, even to keep their own players. It’s something that’s caused fans to express frustration for many years.
After Wheeler’s quote, Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen decided to fire back.
BVW took exception to Wheeler’s rip of #Mets.
