The Mets put out a press release yesterday to update Ronny Mauricio's medical status: "On Sunday, Ronny Mauricio sustained a right knee injury while playing in a Winter League game. Imaging revealed a torn ACL, which will require surgery. An estimated return-to-play timeline will be determined following the procedure. Additional updates will be provided when appropriate."

From the Hospital for Special Surgery website"...8 months to a year after surgery is the average timeline for getting back to their previous athletic level."

Rosenthal The Athletic: Yoshinobu Yamamoto has choices. Here’s a look at his suitors. "If Yoshinobu Yamamoto lands a $300 million contract, as appears increasingly likely, the posting fee would be almost $50 million...Perhaps not even Ohtani fit the Mets’ “2025 and beyond” plan better than Yamamoto. Unlike Ohtani, Yamamoto will not cost the team that signs him a draft pick. He is four years younger than Ohtani. And his future as a pitcher is not in question."

MLB.com: Mets likely to pursue Snell if Yamamoto signs elsewhere (report)
