If you're a Mets fan, I'm just sorry for you in general. But I'm even more sorry about the fact that Johan Santana will likely miss the 2013 season with another injury.
According to Mets GM Sandy Alderson, the two time Cy Young winner has likely suffered a re-tear of the anterior capsule in his left shoulder. It seems very likely that Santana will have to have shoulder surgery to repair the tear. Santana had torn his anterior capsule before and had surgery to repair it back in September of 2010. He had to wait until the 2012 season to throw in the Majors again.
More injuries plague the only pitcher to have ever thrown a no hitter for the Mets. Except for that June night, Santana's career with the Mets have been marred by one injury after another. Santana has had health problems every year as part of the Mets with the first season in 2008 being the closest to the exception only to reveal he had a torn meniscus in his left knee which was surgically repaired after the season has ended.
To take in the fact that there's an expensive 2014 club option for the now 34 year old pitcher, it's likely that Johan has thrown his last pitch for the Mets.
