Mets continue to be vague on Jed Lowrie's knee injury other than to say it's "not serious." Team officials won't divulge the extent of the injury. Lowrie is here, but hasn't been made available to reporters. Mets clearly want the story to go away.

If he gets paid only during the season he gets taxed at Cal rates. If he gets paid year round while in off season he wont have to pay state income taxes during those months while he is living in Florida
which is not really close to painting an accurate picture and hopefully doesnt get him audited.
Baseball players are all wise to live in texas or florida in the off season so that they can meet the domicile threshold (only real sport that its easy to do so). It also helps that spring training states have tax benefits as well. To say that you do not have to pay income tax for games played in Cali is erroneous. There are ways to construct salary and bonus structure to assist with that though.
I really hope this isn't the Mets new "grand new plan" in dealing with injuries. Being vague only worries the fans more and allows the media to run with things. Hopefully this is just specific to this injury otherwise.. yuck.

But I thought the jerseys were delivered last night? But he just made his decision today? Now? HMMMM
on 2/17 he reported that a players tribune article would be forthcoming from Harper announcing he was a Phillie. He has deleted this tweet but you can see people trolling him here Link - ( New Window )

Angels minor league LHP Bo Tucker and free agent RHP Joshua Payne, most recently with the Mets, have been suspended 50 games after second positive tests for a drug of abuse
the uncertainty of his recovery/timetable seems less than ideal.
ThTs the point... its less a diagnoses of the real problem, and more a diagnosis of the symptoms... translation, rest, and hope it gets better. It may. It may not. There could be an underlying major problem or not.
Hence the vague I mentioned the other day lol

Is he going to play 1B for him? They already have three pretty good OFs who I think all project better defensively out there than he does.

The first MRI is the Met version of "earned his pinstripes".
