Good Morning. Happy Birthday Joe Christopher, J.C. Martin, and Ron Taylor. Ronny Mauricio with torn ACL - needs surgery and Seth Lugo goes to KC.
Section Links: Mets Links, MLB Links, Winter Baseball, and This Day in Mets History.
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."

Terrible news about Mauricio. Hope he can recover in time to contribute in 2024. Wonder if this increases any potential interest the Mets might have in a Justin Turner reunion. He can help.
