Mets gotta get their act straight. How do they have two diagnoses? Nothing wrong and flexor stain are two very different things.

It’s kind of ironic since the player is the one who’s reporting the injury and the team says he’s okay.

Is it common for a player to seek outside evaluation in a case like this? I know a bunch go to james andrews and specialists like that for severe injury problems/concerns.

No but if I played for the Mets I’d have my own doctor on retainer.

This coming from a Mets fan.

The Mets are the best in baseball when it comes to misdiagnosing injuries.
In one month last year, they said three players (Matz, Walker, deGrom) were healthy only to all undergo surgery within a week.
That’s not counting the Syndergaard bone spur drama last June or saying Juan Lagares didn’t need thumb surgery when in fact, he did. Or consistently insisting Harvey was healthy, only to get thoracic outlet surgery.
I’m sure there’s more examples just don’t want to post them all lol

i wonder if this had something to do with matz deciding to seek out an outside opinion.

Then theres the David Wright saga. Is he merely “injured” (as the Mets say) or is he forever unable to play Major League caliber ball due to chronic, incurable, unreversible medical conditions?

Worst medical staff in sports.

They’re kind of awful

It’s pretty clear Wright’s career is over, but he has to make an attempt to play in order for the team to collect money from insurance policy.

im not sure thats true…i thought it was insurance over missing a certain % of the games in the season…, which he easily did last year

and be on the DL…

Mets have consistently had injuries and misdiagnosed injuries the last decade. How have they not fired the entire medical staff?

The Wilpons are too cheap to walk from the current group? I’m not sure how they work out their docs, but at least part of it has to be $$…because it always is with their ownership group.
