Justin Verlander is back with the Astros following a brief stint in Queens with the Mets. The 40-year-old was re-acquired by Houston in a trade deadline deal with New York, but his exit from the Mets wasn’t without controversy.
An anonymous Mets player reportedly told the New York Post that Verlander was a “diva,” prompting a response from the three-time Cy Young winner.
On Monday, Verlander took to Twitter in attempt to clear the air over the criticism from the anonymous Met, indicating that he had no hard feelings toward the organization.
