The imaging on New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz’s knee unfortunately showed a tear of the patellar tendon, and he may very well now miss the entire season and the postseason. It’s a brutal bit of news following what was, I’m sure, a very exciting win in the World Baseball Classic for Team Puerto Rico, closed out by Diaz. New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz tore the patellar tendon in his right knee during the celebration after Puerto Rico’s WBC victory against the Dominican Republic. I think this injury sucks so much for Diaz, so much for his teammates in New York and on Team Puerto Rico, and for the fans of both teams. I just don’t think this injury should change the value of the international event.
