smh.. wheeler had serious ace potential. These poor young pitchers all get this tommy john injury because as a kid or in high school they are playing too much and throwing too many breaking balls while their arms and tendons are still not completely developed. They should have some sort of ban on curve balls and sliders in those little league world series leagues. It's ashameMets traded for Carlos Gomez getting rid of Wheeler and Wilmer Flores. Foores was crying on the field but they still played him. Then after the game they announce the deals off and isn't happening. Now Ken Rosenthal reports the Mets backed out because they were worried about Gomez' hip. We're trading a guy who blew out his elbow and we back out of the deal.
