Why can’t Mets fans have nice things?
As the Mets are getting ready for a season that has all the makings of a World Series contender, they lose their superstar $100 million closer Edwin Diaz potentially for the entire 2023 season.
Diaz gets hurt in the WBC as teammates celebrated a win over the Dominican Republic that was just to get them into a quarterfinal.
Just a nightmare.
On top of that unfortunate news, days later, Brandon Nimmo hurt his knee and ankle sliding into second base in a spring training game.
It seems the Mets avoided the worst with their $100 million leadoff man, who has a chance to be ready for Opening Day.
Nonetheless, it’s a big season ahead for the Mets and it’s the start of Season 4 of the “Amazin’ But True” podcast with Nelson Figueroa and me. We will drop two episodes a week this season after every Mets series on Mondays and Thursdays. You can listen below or watch the show below on the New York Post Sports YouTube page.
