On that night at Wrigley Field, the Mets completed a four-game sweep of the Cubs and were headed to a World Series that ended in a disappointing Game 5 loss to the Royals for d’Arnaud and his teammates.
“It feels like forever ago,” d’Arnaud said Saturday after his Braves won the pennant by beating the Dodgers in Game 6 of the NLCS, sending the team to the World Series for the first time since 1999.
The Mets acquired d’Arnaud and Noah Syndergaard as the two key pieces of a trade that sent National League Cy Young award winner R.A.
“I loved my time in New York,” d’Arnaud said.
For Mets fans, it will be a second straight World Series that includes a celebrated former member of the team.
D’Arnaud said he still keeps tabs on many of his former Mets teammates, including Jacob deGrom, Zack Wheeler, Daniel Murphy and David Wright.
“Flo I talk to all the time,” d’Arnaud said, referring to Wilmer Flores.
“We have been underdogs the whole time,” d’Arnaud said
