Marcus Stroman Rips Mets: "Beyond Thankful" To Be Gone

February 23, 2022 ,


Chicago Cubs starter Marcus Stroman is never shy about letting his feelings known. Particularly in the media—social or otherwise. The former New York Mets' pitcher was replying to a fan's question about why he was upset with the Mets after his departure as a free agent. He responded by ripping not only new Mets GM Billy Eppler, but also the Mets fanbase.

Although Stroman has since deleted the tweets, Mets fans grabbed screenshots and tweeted them out for anyone who missed it the first time:

“Very very thankful to be out of there for several reasons," wrote Stroman. "God always got me. Beyond excited to perform for an incredible fanbase who appreciates their players! @Cubs.” 

About Eppler, Stroman said this:

“Just look at who the Mets hired as their GM…that tells you enough,” he wrote. “His lack of awareness in his previous position is being exposed to the public now. I’m beyond thankful I’m gone from that organization. God got me!” 

This isn't the first time, however, that Stroman has left a trail of scorched earth behind after leaving a team. After the Toronto Blue Jays traded him to the Mets back in 2019, he called the Jays' GM a liar for suggesting that a contract extension was offered, and then suggested that the new Toronto regime of Mark Shaprio and Ross Atkins were doing the Jays' fans wrong by tearing down the back-to-back ALCS contenders. 

The Stro Show is back for another run on the North Side of Chicago in 2022.
