The World Baseball Classic has brought us some incredible highs, some delightful laughs, and now it has brought us some deep lows.

The Mets prized closer will be out for the 2023 season, which is causing many to wonder if the Diaz injury (and more minor injuries to other players) might be more risk than reward when it comes to the WBC.
