I believe the reporter in question was Sal Licata.  Sal works for SNY and in theory should know what he is talking about but I don't think he is a real reporter and does not spend much time in clubhouses.  I think he is going with something he has heard here.

To my knowledge, no beat reporter has written anything that verifies Sal's accusation.

I would be more concerned if this was coming from Harper, Martino, DiComo. Thosar or Lennon.

The Mets had by all accounts a great clubhouse in 2022.  I think it is more likely players who were on the team in 2022 and were not on the team in 2023, or players who arrived in 2023 screwed up the chemistry.

I have never been in the Mets clubhouse.  Maybe he is a diva or a jerk or something.  All I know is that he plays every day, is willing to play when hurt and seems to give 100% at all times.  When he fails, you can see it upsets him.  A lot.

He wants to play for the US national team, he is very supportive of the NYC firemen and police officers, seems like he stays in the clubhouse to be accountable and answer questions from the press, after good wins and awful losses.

Overall, he seems to do a lot of things the right way.  I would be surprised if he is a major issue here.
