Luke Weaver opens up on Yankees bag controversy after making his Mets arrival

Luke Weaver isn’t missing his ex.

The former Yankees closer and new Mets reliever had some folks buzzing after arriving to Port St. Lucie with a Bronx Bombers bag, but he explained that’s nothing more than offseason logistics.

“I thought it was a bit silly, personally,” Weaver said on “The Show” podcast with The Post’s Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman. “I understand why people are — I wouldn’t say an uproar, but why they’re talking about it. I get it. To your point, it’s very common to bring your old bad to your new team. They don’t first-class airmail a new bag, so I didn’t get a new bag from the Mets, like a duffle bag.

“I just personally didn’t have like, besides grocery bags or something, I just didn’t really have anything to put my stuff in. Part of me is like, yeah, I don’t necessarily want to take the Yankees bag because I’m not a Yankee, but I know this is just a normal process.”

There probably would not have been any chatter had Weaver showed face at say, Reds camp or White Sox camp, with a Yankees bag, but the cross-town rivalry will do that.

Some found it odd that Weaver did not ditch his Yankees gear, but he would not be the first player to report to work with his new team with gear from his last employer.
