Santana Has Surgery
The Mets are set to have a press conference today presumed to be an announcement of Omar Minaya’s contract extension (3 years at $6 million?). But I think the questions asked by the press will be more centered around Johan Santana than they will around Minaya.
It was surprisingly announced yesterday that Santana had arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. The tear is believed to be the result of wear and tear as opposed to any single event but it was apparently hurting him pretty bad when he made his final start of the season. He’s expected to have a full recovery in time for spring training. But any time your ace has surgery, no matter how minor, a red flag is raised and questions are going to be asked. Especially if you’re the Mets who have a recent history of downplaying injuries that end up being bigger than they let on.
