TAMPA — In a long interview with the New York Post's Steve Serby on Sunday, Yankees' starter Nathan Eovaldi answered questions on everything from his home town (Alvin, TX.), his encore to a 14-win season, and whether his team can win the World Series this year (he says yes).
Eovaldi, soft-spoken and usually short-winded, is that way with Serby here but his five-word answer on if New York can ever be a "Mets town" was probably all he needed to say:
"No, I don't think so," Eovaldi said.
The Mets, of course, went to the World Series last season and lost in five games to the Kansas City Royals, but went on a run that reignited fans' interest in the team from Queens.
