Curtis Granderson lobbed a playful zinger at his former team on Tuesday while introduced as a member of the New York Mets.

Granderson spent the last four seasons with the New York Yankees, hitting 74 home runs.

"A lot of the people I've met in New York have always said that true New Yorkers are Mets fans," Granderson said. "So I'm excited to get a chance to see them all out there."

Granderson received a four-year, $60 million deal from the Mets, including a $13 million salary for 2014.

"They were open with me," he said of the Yankees. They said, 'Hey, we have a couple of other options that we're considering.' I said, 'I completely understand. We're doing the same thing.'"
