My Elbow is Thor

As per ESPN, Noah Syndergaard has a torn UCL, needs TJ surgery, out until April 2021 and potentially into next summer. Damn.

I have a bad feeling that everybody's gonna miss the 2020 season. Nice thread title.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Lefty Specialist Mar 24 2020 02:01 PM Re: My Elbow is Thor

Well they probably don't play much if any of 2020 anyway. But still, fuck.

batmagadanleadoff Mar 24 2020 02:04 PM Re: My Elbow is Thor

He'll practically be a free agent by the time he's back. So the Mets wont be able to benefit from most of the rest of his contract time and they wont get anywhere near the value they might've gotten for him in a pre free agency trade.

Frayed Knot Mar 24 2020 02:05 PM Re: My Elbow is Thor

And so that basically eats up the remainder of his NYM tenure. He'll be a FA at the end of 2021 and the odds of him actually pitching by the end of 2021 are small. So unless they're big on signing a (then) 29 y/o pitcher coming off both the worst season of his career AND reconstructive ligament surgery, there's a good chance Noah threw his last pitch for the Mets last September.

Good thing we let Wheeler go to Philly

Man, this seemed like it was overdue. No less sucky, but ... . Wait! Silver Lining! There's now room on the roster for out-of-options Paul Sewald!

Sigh. Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Good thing we let Wheeler go to Philly Brodie deserves some credit for thinking that a sixth starter was prudent. But he got a 5 and 6 when legit #2's were available. I would gladly swap Porcello and Betances for Bumgarner or Wheeler. And if Brodie was holding on to payroll for a trade that didn't happen, well, he has to answer to the fans for that (even if the Wilpons don't care).

Benjamin Grimm Mar 24 2020 02:32 PM Re: My Elbow is Thor

This sucks, but I'm totally taking it in stride. 2020 is probably as good a season as any to miss, and there's a lot of other stuff to worry about. I think Noah will probably pitch for the Mets again, in the second half of the 2021 season. But yeah, his trade value is shot.

First a global pandemic, now this.

Lefty Specialist Mar 24 2020 04:27 PM Re: My Elbow is Thor

Ready just in time for the 2021 playoffs. And they can re-sign him on the cheap, always a bonus with Jeffy. Win-win.

LWFS Mar 24 2020 04:48 PM Re: My Elbow is Thor

If you're going to lose him for a season, this is the season to lose him. Basically, if they play at all, they're playing 1/2-2/3 of a season. So, practically speaking, you've got 20 starts-- plus whatever else these guys lose to bumps and scratches-- to cobble together. Also, Wacha and Lugo and Gsellman. Also also, David Peterson?

whippoorwill Mar 24 2020 05:01 PM Re: My Elbow is Thor

Yeah Hadji mentioned this. Dammit. At least it's a good year to miss time

But of course it almost certainly won't be just this upcoming truncated season that he'll miss but also a significant (possibly entire?) chunk of 2021 as well.

That his surgery winds up happening not during the off-season but on what was to have been Opening Day means that just an average recovery time of

14-15 months puts him at June at best and likely post-ASB before we see him on the mound. And if under the extremely unlikely scenario of a NYM injury

rehab taking longer than usual ...

Thanks. I was particularly proud of that one. We'll see how many of the major papers rip me off tomorrow.

Thor was never really "all that." That Toronto Mets trade pretty much went down in flames

I'd do that deal again 11 times out of 10

Ceetar Mar 24 2020 08:00 PM Re: My Elbow is Thor

Thor was never really "all that." That Toronto Mets trade pretty much went down in flames lol, what nonsense. I mean, sure you're losing him for an abbreviated season this year, but if they do play, you kinda want Thor for the playoffs. You can cobble together the regular season fine, but that's something else. Of course, the flip is true of 2021, you'd, hopefully, have him for the stretch run and the playoffs.

Frayed Knot Mar 24 2020 08:08 PM Re: My Elbow is Thor

Put it this way: Do you want a rebuilt Thor for a potential 2021 playoff run or would you prefer RA Dickey?

Edgy MD Mar 24 2020 08:21 PM Re: My Elbow is Thor

Hey, at least Syndergaard has a UCL to tear. So there's that.
