Like many others, baseball is also a physically demanding sport; thereby injuries become an inevitable part of it. With baseball being back in action, players are more prone to injuries and must take extra special care. However, even then, severe injuries can make or break the career of any athlete. Most recently, a New York Mets star suffered a horrific injury while training for the upcoming regular season. Unsurprisingly, the fanbase is disappointed with the news about the athlete. 

Left-hand pitcher José Quintana was diagnosed with a rib stress fracture after suffering from tightness on his side on March 5. After going through imaging, it was revealed that he had a small stress fracture on the fifth rib on his left side. Such an injury hurts more for the fans when the regular season is approaching hastily. 

New York Mets fans are saddened about the team’s future

The Metropolitans wrapped up MLB’s 2022 season with a tremendous 101-61 record. And now, after making some drastic changes in the off-season, they are looking forward to an even better one, possibly a world series win. However, if the recent injury suffered by Quintana puts him on the sidelines for a long time, it might hinder the team’s prospects.

Following are some of the reactions of Mets fans after their ace’s injury update. 

According to the fans, Quintana is set to miss at least the first couple of months of the regular season. However, they have also named two pitchers who can take his position. Those two pitchers are David Peterson and Tylor Megill. Needless to say, both pitchers are incredibly qualified to fill in for Quintana. 

Cohen has spent quite a lot in the offseason!

Aiming to completely overturn the franchise’s image, billionaire owner Steve Cohen spent hundreds of millions to acquire some of the best players for the team. Even Alex Rodriguez, who was a competitor for Cohen in buying the team in 2020, said that the team’s owner had done a tremendous job.
