Darryl Strawberry opens up about moving past baseball, Steve Cohen buying the Mets, his new life as a pastor … and Donald Trump

NEW YORK — Darryl Strawberry doesn't have much time for baseball these days.

The eight-time All-Star and three-time World Series champion spends his time travelling the country as a pastor. Strawberry's life now stands in stark contrast to his days of playing baseball, surviving colon cancer twice and battling drug and alcohol addiction.

The Daily News caught up with Strawberry — in between his conferences in Tennessee, Arkansas and California — and asked the former Mets, Dodgers and Yankees right fielder about the pending Mets sale, the upcoming election and more. His eighth book, "Turn Your Season Around," comes out in January 2021.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
