Mets' Injury Disasters Prove Ray Ramirez Was Far From the Problem

Back in October of 2017, the New York Mets fired their trainer Ray Ramirez after they had a slew of injuries to their star players, including Yoenis Cespedes and Noah Syndergaard.

Mets fan got what they wanted and hoped his ousting would lead to better health for their core group. Well, that hasn't happened, and in 2019 the Mets are seeing a lot of the same ol' problems.

Weekend with #mets: The GM won't say if Jed Lowrie has a new injury, despite suggesting there is one; Brandon Nimmo now seeing neck specialists for injury team has said was merely "soreness"; and team won't reveal MRI results for Noah Syndergaard that was taken Sunday AM

So, is it Ray Ramirez's fault that Jed Lowrie hasn't played in a game this season and might be out longer with a new injury? What about Brandon Nimmo's neck injury that was initially reported to be "soreness," but is now something much more serious?

Oh, and Syndergaard just landed on the shelf... again. Does Thor's now ex-girlfriend want to blast Ramirez for his continual injury problems?

Pretty clear it wasn't Ray Ramirez, or the Mets medical staff's fault. Also pretty clear the actual problem is the front office and how they handle injuries.

We can't help but think Ramirez was responsible for Cespedes falling on his ranch, too.

Injuries happen and sometimes a player gets hurt in a fluky way. Ramirez isn't blameless for New York's rash of injuries over the last handful of years, but the core of the issue certainly didn't have to do with him. This is a Mets organization problem.

All in all, changes need to be made at the top in order for this situation to be resolved.
