The Mets had the most Met weekend ever

after making a high profile trade that people loved the return on

quote:

If the New York Mets are just going to trade their most valuable major league assets for salary relief, rather than to try to improve the club, then it's time for MLB to step in and force the Wilpons to sell the team, just as the league did with Frank McCourt and the Dodgers. Trading Jeurys Familia for two fringe-at-best prospects is not how any team, regardless of payroll level, should operate in this environment. For a franchise that operates in the largest market in the league to do this -- and do so 10 days before the trade deadline rather than waiting for someone to offer a legitimate return -- is embarrassing for the Mets and for Major League Baseball as a whole.

Yoenis Cespedes finally returned Friday night after missing more than nine weeks and came back with a bang, but how long will he last?

After going 2-for-4 with a homer which hit off the left foul pole in the Mets’ 7-5 win over the Yankees, Cespedes revealed that all the leg injuries he’s dealt with in recent years are because of calcification in both of his heels, and the only way to fix it is to have surgery which he says has an eight-to-10 month recovery. He’s not sure if he’ll have surgery, and he’s not even sure if he can make it through the season.

so cespedes spends months on the DL, finally comes back, and then drops a bomb on everyone that he might need season ending surgery

and if that wasnt enough, the whipped cream and cherry on top of this marvelous sunday of a weekend that the mets had.....syndergaard got an infection after doing charity work over the all star break

Noah Syndergaard is going on the DL with hand, foot & mouth disease. Possible he picked it up working at a kids camp over the all-star break. Perhaps why he had diminished velocity and was tired on Friday. Assistant GM John Ricco said they expect it perhaps to be just one start.
