Marcus Stroman apparently has no regrets about leaving the Mets for the Chicago Cubs this offseason.
Stroman, who spent three years in Queens from 2019-21 (opting out of the 2020 season after struggling an harm), is likely one of the extra energetic athletes on Twitter. On Tuesday, he used his social media attain to assault his now-former group – and their new GM, Billy Eppler.
After a submit praising his former Mets teammate Michael Conforto, calling him an “unbelievable human being” and calling for the league to “pay that man what he deserves,” a fan responded that she’s “nonetheless holding out hope” that Conforto returns to the Mets.
Stroman didn’t agree.
“I’m hoping he’s well-paid elsewhere,” Stroman tweeted, with a shrug emoji.
When pressed on the thought, he responded: “Very very grateful to be out of there for a number of causes. God at all times acquired me. Past excited to carry out for an unimaginable fanbase who appreciates their gamers! @Cubs.”
When requested if he might increase on the problems that drove him away from the Mets, he wrote, “The world isn’t prepared for these solutions to be trustworthy.”
In one other tweet, Stroman additional clarified his place, taking a shot at Eppler within the course of.
“Simply have a look at who the Mets employed as their GM…that tells you adequate,” he wrote. “His ignorance in his earlier place is being uncovered to the general public now. I’m past grateful I’m gone from that group. God acquired me!”
A lot of the tweets seem to have been deleted as of Wednesday morning.
It’s unclear the place Stroman’s disdain for Eppler, who the group employed in November, got here from. He spent six seasons as the final supervisor of the Angels, and whereas he did some good issues there – notably, signing two-way famous person Shohei Ohtani – the group by no means made the playoffs below his watch.
The Mets have been impressed sufficient handy him a second GM job after the Angels fired him, however Stroman, for one, seems skeptical.
Stroman signed a three-year take care of the Cubs in December, after the Mets employed Eppler – and earlier than the lockout started.
