Jorge Lopez calls Mets ‘worst team in whole f–king MLB’ after glove-launching tantrum

Mets reliever Jorge López didn’t hold back about his feelings on the state of the Mets.

Following an ugly day at Citi Field where the Mets lost 10-3 and López was tossed from the game and chucked his glove into the stands, he then tore into the team in front of reporters, calling them “the worst team in probably the whole f–king MLB.”Lopez, who also will soon be designated for assignment, according to The Post’s Joel Sherman, also refused to express any regret over his outburst with his glove.

“I think I’ve been on the worst team in probably the whole f–king MLB,” López said. “Whatever happens, happens. Whatever they want to do. I’ll be here tomorrow if they want. Whatever they want to do. I’m going to keep doing this thing, so I’m healthy on whatever to do.

“I’m ready to come back tomorrow if they want me to be here, I’ll be here.”
