NEW YORK (AP) Mets rookie pitcher Robert Gsellman says he has apologized to Sandy Alderson for publicly dismissing a recent assessment by the general manager.
Gsellman was on the disabled list and struggling in his rehab assignment at Double-A Binghamton when Alderson said the right-hander needed to pitch better before returning to the majors. After throwing six shutout innings in his final rehab appearance, Gsellman was activated Tuesday and asked by a reporter about Alderson’s comment.
”I don’t really care,” he answered.
Alderson wasn’t happy about that. During his pregame news conference Wednesday at Citi Field, the GM said he would give Gsellman ”a pass” for the moment because he was scheduled to pitch for New York later that night.
After the game, Gsellman clarified his remark. He said he apologized to Alderson and they ”talked it out.”
