Mets Fear The Worst With Edwin Diaz
2 years agoNew York Mets closer Edwin Diaz (knee) will have an MRI exam on his injured right knee on Thursday morning, but initial indications are that Diaz's injury is "bad," in the words of one source. People briefed on the situation fear that Diaz could be lost for a significant period, perhaps for the entire 2023 season after he injured his knee celebrating Team Puerto Rico's win over the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic on Wednesday night. If you are drafting on Thursday, it would probably be best to avoid selecting Diaz. It would be a huge blow to lose one of, if not the best, closer in baseball for the entire season. With Diaz hurt, David Robertson and Brooks Raley figure to be the primary closing options for the Mets this year.
