Mets’ worst fears realized: Edwin Diaz likely out for season with knee injury

The Mets will be starting their quest for a 2023 World Series title on March 30th in Miami against the Marlins at loanDepot park. Unfortunately, that’s the same location the season ended for closer Edwin Diaz. Before it even got started.

He came into Wednesday night’s win-or-go-home game for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic, with eyes on eliminating the Dominican Republic. He did just that. Diaz’s entrance even included “Narco” blasting through the speakers in Miami. It was awesome.

For Mets fans, it was a foreshadowing of what was to come.
