Mets Designate Robinson Cano for Assignment

2 May

While I get that Robinson Cano is far from a sympathetic figure what with all the money he’s making and of course the PED suspension which took him away from the team for an entire year. But if we’re being fair 41 ABs with sparse playing time does not equal a fair assessment on whether or not a player has anything left. And damn, while we all know that Steve Cohen is mage-rich, to just eat $40M like that is kind of insane.

Taijuan Walker’s Knee Soreness Resurfaces in Final Spring Start

NYDailyNews.com:

The shortened spring training has taken at least one victim on the Mets rotation.

Taijuan Walker’s knee pain has resurfaced in the past week, leading up to his disappointing Tuesday start in the Mets’ 14-0 loss to the Nationals. He underwent knee surgery in January, and had been progressing nicely up until the final week of Mets camp.

And just like that we went from having ‘the best’ starting rotation in the league to possibly needing a bullpen game to start the season. SMH.
