The Mets were the big spenders across MLB during free agency. They went out and landed Max Scherzer on a massive deal worth $130 million to become one of their two aces. When Jacob deGrom went down with an injury, that honor fell to Scherzer alone.
But the Mets just took another HUGE blow to their starting staff. In the middle of an outing, Scherzer signaled to the dugout that he was done. The Mets training staff came out and removed him from the game. The report directly from the team is that he has a moderate to severe oblique strain, and it will cause him to miss a big chunk of the MLB season.
