Mets Rumors: Justin Verlander Called a 'Diva' By Unnamed Player After Star Traded

It appears former New York Mets pitcher Justin Verlander rubbed some of his teammates in the Big Apple the wrong way.

Verlander was a "diva," an anonymous Mets player told Mike Puma of the New York Post, and he "often complained about the Mets' analytics department, which he deemed inferior to the one that served him in Houston."

The anonymous player also told Puma that Verlander "was largely detached from teammates" and "didn't add to the team's identity."

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
