Remember when the New York Mets' vaunted super-rotation was a beacon of hope and stability in Queens?
So much for that.
Matt Harvey is lost for the season to shoulder surgery. Noah Syndergaard and Steven Matz are pitching through bone spurs in their elbows. And Zack Wheeler has hit multiple speed bumps in his return from Tommy John surgery.
That leaves only Jacob deGrom, who twirled nine scoreless innings against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday and served notice that he's still an ace worth leaning on.
No one had given up on deGrom, at least no one whose opinion you should trust.
