Matt Harvey went running to Derek Jeter’s Players Tribune — occasionally a safe house for athletes in trouble — on Sunday to try to end a controversy that his agent created. Harvey said things in a short essay that he should have said when he faced the media on Saturday in Miami. The fact that it took him a day longer than it should have to wake up isn’t anybody’s fault but his own.
Harvey didn’t have some epiphany, medical or otherwise, between Saturday and Sunday, that finally made him say that he was going to pitch in the playoffs.
