Edwin Díaz will undergo surgery Thursday to repair a right patellar tendon tear, announced Mets general manager Billy Eppler.
Brutal. The all-world closer actually suffered a "full thickness" tear of his patellar tendon during a rather innocuous celebration with Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic on Wednesday. It's just bad luck all around. Eppler added that a more specific timeline will be known after the surgery, but the general timetable is around eight months before a return to action, which obviously rules Díaz out for the 2023 season. It's a terrible blow for a Mets team which has World Series aspirations, but now they will have to move ahead with the team that they have, though it's likely they'll look for in-season improvements. For now, David Robertson moves to the forefront for save chances.

I think that the players in the WBC are insured so the Mets will be reimbursed for Edwin's salary.

Well, that's a gut punch. Cutting and pasting with Robertson and Ottavino is probably where they go. Some other bullpenny types are going to have to step up.
Even duct tape can't fix stupid. But it can sure muffle the sound.

I'd just hand the job to Bryce Montes de Oca but I think he got hurt too

I imagine all teams also have umbrella policies over other umbrella
policies for such train wrecks. Last thing I'm thinking about is the $$.

Following up on the insurance, I read Kershaw wanted to participate but couldn't get insurance

Yeah but now I’m reminded that the Dodger pitcher in that clip only had one more year left in that left arm of his 😑Fman99 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 12:55 pmLook at all of those sexy, intact, ACLs and MCLs. I'm harder than a diamond in an ice storm right now.
Re: Edwin Diaz Leg Thread of Much Concern
I don't think the job goes to anybud. Or, at least, it shouldn't go to anybody right off. Drew Smith, Adam Ottavino, Robertson, John Curtiss ... let 'em all pitch and see whose performance elevates them.
David Peterson might walk out of 2023 as the team's save leader.

i dont think there should be any hurry to name a closer, just let Buck use who he wants to use when he wants to use them

Maybe it’s a good thing the Mets never made the World Series

Stroman, always the first guy I think of when I want a drama-free sensible take. Stro is on team Puerto Rico after previously repping the USA
It's time for all of us to pretend Diaz never existed, and don't get too excited for '24.
Re: Edwin Diaz Leg Thread of Much Concern
Stro is currently banging heads with the equally annoying Barstool dope on Twitter

Re: Edwin Diaz Leg Thread of Much Concern
Which really adds to the sense that eligibility for these teams is a bit of a joke to avoid the fact that not many nations really play baseball at a serious level - we need a U.S. territory to fill out one of the teams and anyone who has ever attended a bar mitzvah can play on another one.Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 3:53 pm Stro is on team Puerto Rico after previously repping the USA

Well, while I certainly reject players jumping national teams, Puerto Rico regularly participates on the international athletic stage (The Olympic Games, The Pan-American Games, World Cup Soccer, The Little League World Series, etc.) as a separate entity from The United States.

Re: Edwin Diaz Leg Thread of Much Concern
Mets confirm Edwin, despite his progress, will not pitch in what’s left of this season.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.
Re: Edwin Diaz Leg Thread of Much Concern
Good. We've long past the point where there was anything to gain from it.
Re: Edwin Diaz Leg Thread of Much Concern
Since this is about dominant New York relievers, this popped up in my Facebook memories today-
Hurry back, Edwin.

The Mets had two Riveras on the field but none in the bullpen.
