Former Mets starting pitcher Justin Verlander has already been with the Houston Astros for two weeks, but his short stint in Queens has become a hot topic as of late.
According to a report from Mike Puma of the New York Post, an anonymous player said that Verlander was a “diva” who was “largely detached” from his Mets teammates and often complained about how the team’s analytics department was inferior to the one he worked with in Houston.
According to Puma, this “diva” attitude caused some uneasiness between Verlander and Max Scherzer, who have had issues dating back to their time together in Detroit.
