As spring training began, Mets fans thought they were counting down the days until the first back-to-back days of Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer starts. Instead, the season will begin with second-year pitcher Tylor Megill toeing the rubber for Buck Showalter’s squad.
New York received tough news last week, when deGrom experienced shoulder tightness that will shut him down for at least a few weeks to begin the year. The two-time Cy Young winner was putting up historic numbers last season before arm injuries cut his year short in July.
