Jacob deGrom’s injury exit dampens Mets’ win over Padres
NY Post
It went from a party to a church gathering fast for the Mets on Friday night.
One moment, the largest crowd in two years at Citi Field was living it up, showering Jacob deGrom with chants of “MVP.” The next, the 26,637 fans in attendance were silent, holding their collective breath, wondering why the best pitcher in the sport was taken out after six dominant innings and just 80 pitches. There was a reason for it. The Mets announced, during their 3-2 victory over the Padres, that deGrom has right flexor tendinitis, momentarily interrupting his magical season again.
The Mets have subtracted a fourth member from their core.
It’s a simple formula, a winning formula:
The Islanders’ injuries have at least made one part of Mathieu Darche’s pending job easier: It’s not hard to discern what his needs are in the trade market.
The Mets–Yankees pipeline remains strong this offseason.
The Chiefs may be down another quarterback.
Draymond Green got tossed again, but this time, he has a point.
Andy Reid isn’t going anywhere.
The Yankees are bringing back another swingman.
It is not about any one thing.
The Rangers have another injury worry on their hands.
The loudest ovation of Friday night’s 116-107 loss to the 76ers had nothing to do with the Knicks’ pregame celebration for winning the NBA Cup.
Tyler Shough isn’t just a quarterback that the Jets let get away.
