A month after an infamous sequence of events, former Mets reliever Jorge Lopez reflected on his untimely exit from New York.

“It’s something I’m never going to do again, in my life,” Lopez told reporters before a game against the Brewers. “It’s emotions.”“I’ve been working on my mental health for a long time,” Lopez said. “That’s my priority, to not show that anymore and give the best energy and best body language I can to the game.

Lopez seemed to refer to the Mets as either the “worst team probably in the whole f–king MLB” or “worst teammate probably in the whole f–king MLB.”“I also want to clarify my post-game remarks, because I had no intention of disparaging the New York Mets Organization,” the 31-year-old reliever wrote. “During that interview, I spoke candidly about my frustrations with my personal performance and how I felt it made me the worst teammate in the entire league.
