Wilmer Flores spent parts of six seasons with the New York Mets and 11 years in the organization. He became a fan favorite due to his emotional reaction to believing he’d been traded and his walk-off home run two days later after the trade fell through.
He was non-tendered this offseason, eventually landing with the Arizona Diamondbacks, who the Mets visited from May 31 through June 2. Flores admitted to Yahoo Sports’ Matt Ehalt that he misses living and playing in New York City.
“I like the calm cities, but you definitely need some New York in your life,” Flores said.
