It’s official. Matt Harvey is now a former member of the New York Mets. He will join the worst team in baseball, the Cincinnati Reds. The Dark Knight is headed to Baseball Siberia.
The Mets pulled off some magic Tuesday by trading Harvey to the Reds for catcher Devin Mesoraco. In doing so, they’ve solved two problems.
The dark cloud following Harvey is now out of the Mets’ locker room. In his place is a catcher whose career only recently went off the rails, mostly due to injury.
Mesoraco is a piece of scotch tape on an ax wound.
