Luis Severino rooting for Yankees to win it all — but only if Mets aren’t going to
NY Post
MIAMI — Luis Severino expects to hear several boos returning to Yankee Stadium on Tuesday wearing an opposing jersey for the first time.
It’s understandable to the Mets ace, but he also noted Monday that he hasn’t completely changed his stripes just because he now plays home games in Queens instead of The Bronx.
Before the Mets played their 6-4 win in the series finale against the Marlins, the right-hander was asked if he still wants the Yankees to succeed.
Severino pitched for the Yankees from 2015-23 before last offseason receiving a one-year contract worth $13 million from the Mets.
“For me, if we’re not winning the World Series I would rather the Yankees win the World Series,” Severino told The Post. “I have made a lot of friends there, not just players, but coaches and staff that I stay in touch with, so if we don’t win it I would want the Yankees to.”
Would Severino watch such a World Series?
