A tailor approached Christian Scott in the Citi Field clubhouse about two weeks ago and asked if she could take his measurements for a suit.

“I was like, ‘All right,’” the Mets rookie said, “‘How much is it?’”

The bill was paid, for both Scott and a since-demoted José Buttó. As is baseball tradition, the buyer — Luis Severino — is only asking Scott and Buttó to pay it forward when they become the Severinos of the clubhouse.

Severino is now a 30-year-old in his ninth major league season who is making $13 million with the Mets this year and has made about $60 million through his career. Those riches were only dreams when the promising young Dominican debuted with the Yankees back in 2015.
