Marcus Earl Stroman is currently the pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. He previously played for the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets. As he says goodbye to the Mets, Stroman claims that Mets fans called him the N-word and even sent death threats.

The pitcher has been unleashing on his former employer, the New York Mets on Twitter recently. Stroman says he is quite happy to be leaving the Big Apple to join the Chicago Cubs. The reason behind Stroman’s happiness is the freedom from the awful treatment he received from Mets fans.

Marcus Stroman opened up on the alleged awful treatment he received from fans during his 2 seasons with the Mets. “Endless death threats, being called a n***** often, hearing black lives don’t matter, and playing for a front office who didn’t care about any of that.” Stroman tweeted. Stroman says he will go into more detail on his podcast when the time is right.
