Insiders offer ‘fixes’ for WBC after injury to Mets’ Edwin Diaz
For many, the lasting memory from the 2023 World Baseball Classic will involve New York Mets star closer Edwin Diaz suffering a likely season-ending injury while celebrating with teammates.
Inevitable discussions have arisen about possibly altering upcoming editions of the WBC assuming the tournament exists beyond this March. MLB insiders Bob Klapisch of NJ Advance Media and Mike Puma of the New York Post shared some ideas.
Klapisch suggested starting the WBC in November, long after players have already gotten themselves into regular-season condition.
“I always assume the worst when my guys go,” one “higher-up” MLB executive told Klapisch about clubs losing players to the WBC during spring training. “That way I can only be pleasantly surprised when they come back healthy.”
The complete patellar tendon tear in his right knee that Diaz suffered Wednesday will likely sideline him for roughly eight months and, thus, prevent the $102M reliever from featuring for the Mets until next spring. Had he gone down this past November, he may have been able to pitch during the closing stretch of the upcoming campaign.
Klapisch added that a club’s “three highest-salaried players” could be subject to a franchise’s “stay-at-camp decree,” which would prevent them from playing unless they accepted some financial responsibilities were they to be injured while away for a WBC. Exact percentages for such responsibilities would have to be worked out.
Puma, a Mets beat reporter for the Post, borrowed from Amazins ace Max Scherzer. Scherzer explained earlier this week he and other pitchers may be more likely to participate in a WBC if the event was held during the summer months after they had “built up” their arms for meaningful action.
“Skip holding an All-Star Game every fourth season and play a condensed version of the WBC over a week,” Puma wrote. “That is, take a four-day All-Star break and turn it into eight, allowing for a smaller tournament that includes better pitchers.”
No WBC format will ever be perfect as it pertains to preventing physical setbacks, and the Diaz injury truly was a “freak” incident. Klapisch, Puma and others within the MLB community are merely sparking conversations that owners inevitably will have (or are already having) after a nine-figure player went down with a serious issue during a competition many of those owners likely would cancel today if they could.
