Sandy Alderson mocks Matt Harvey at BBWAA dinner (Video)

New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson took a playful shot at his star pitcher Matt Harvey during Saturday night's BBWAA awards dinner.

To recap, Harvey missed a mandatory team workout back in October prior to the start of the NLDS, with the excuse that he was stuck in traffic. Although there was some debate as to the truth behind Harvey's lateness, it certainly became a bit of a distraction for the team.

With that in mind, Alderson introduced Jacob DeGrom and Steven Matz to those in attendance before turning his focus to those who were not in the room:

"Noah (Syndergaard) and Matt (Harvey) could not be here....Matt lives in SoHo. I don't know whether they closed the Greenwich Village Airport or not."
It should be noted that DeGrom seemed to find the joke particularly funny.
