The Matt Harvey era officially came to an end on Friday, when the New York Mets designated the former ace for assignment. The move completes a stunning fall for a pitcher who, less than three years ago, took the mound in Game 1 of the World Series and was the talk of New York.
A lot has been said about his attitude, his agent, his injury problems, and his struggles, which has changed the narrative around Harvey. It may be hard to remember, but he was once a legitimate superstar whose numbers backed up his bravado.
