The growing losses, which led the Mets to becoming trade-deadline sellers, did not affect David Robertson’s appreciation for his time in Queens.
MIAMI — The on-field frustrations amid the growing losses, which led the team to becoming trade-deadline sellers, did not affect David Robertson’s appreciation for his time in Queens.
Robertson said general manager Billy Eppler kept him “in the loop a little bit” regarding the club’s deadline plans, and he did not fault the front office for the push toward the future.USA TODAY Sports via Reuters ConEppler “saw an opportunity to trade and add to their organization with some young players that they probably really need, and the cost was me,” said the 38-year-old Robertson, who now has been traded three times in the middle of a season.
“We’d pitch great, and then we wouldn’t hit. And then we’d hit great, and then we wouldn’t pitch. We just couldn’t put it together,” said Robertson, who largely was excellent in filling in as closer for the injured Edwin Diaz. “It was very frustrating, especially with all the high expectations we had coming into the spring and the feel we had leaving the spring.”
