Just when you thought the baseball gods might give Queens a break, they go full Shakespearean tragedy—again. The New York Mets, masters of turning optimism into offseason firewood, have been dealt yet another cruel twist in a season already flirting with chaos. A key piece of their bullpen has crumbled, and let’s just say, it’s not a minor bruise or a “day-to-day” situation this time.
The pitchers this season have been falling like flies, and another one just collapsed. This time it is the Mets who suffer at the hands of baseball gods as their top pitcher, Danny Young, might be out for the whole season, and this might be the end of it all for the Mets.
There is news flying in, and this latest injury was also reported by Anthony DiComo. He posted on X, writing, “News: Doctors have officially recommended Tommy John surgery for Mets left-hander Danny Young.”
News: Doctors have officially recommended Tommy John surgery for Mets left-hander Danny Young. Assuming he opts to go that route, Young will be out for the year.

He also says that there is a choice for Young to make. And if he does make this choice, he is done for the season. With the Mets already dealing with a thin bullpen, Young was one of the few reliable left-handed arms available. Young was quietly putting together a solid season out of the bullpen. In just 10 appearances, he racked up 13 strikeouts with a 4.32 ERA over 8.1 innings, holding things down when the Mets needed him most.
With Young likely out for the season, the Mets now face yet another setback in their ongoing quest to redefine disappointment. The bullpen, already scraping the barrel, will have to look elsewhere for answers. Though those answers may be hard to find at this point. As the Mets stumble through another disaster-filled season, one thing is certain: they’re not just playing baseball; they’re auditioning for a tragedy worthy of Broadway.
