Marcus Stroman's Anger Over Mets Trade Revealed as Reported Cause of Blue Jays' Clubhouse Commotion

After the dust properly settled surrounding the Toronto Blue Jays' decision to trade All-Star Marcus Stroman to the New York Mets Sunday, the hurler himself hopped on Twitter, put on his best face, and said all the right things.

But in the moment that the news first broke, Stro Show was said to be anything but composed. In fact, some reported unrest behind the scenes at Jays HQ Sunday turns out to have been instigated by the player himself.

If you telegraphed your desire to be dealt to a contending club like the Yankees over and over again only to end up not even a full 10 miles away in Flushing, Queens with the baffling Mets, you'd perhaps be ready to pop off, too.

Luckily, cooler heads prevailed. Right?

Right??

Clearly, it took some time for the famously brazen Long Island-born starter to calm down. But the fact remains that he now plays for a team that has consistently found ways to gin up bad juju and negative press as if by pure force of will. His mercurial attitude and itchy Twitter finger will be a true spectacle to witness now that he's suddenly under the bright lights in America's biggest city.
