Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
Addition by subtraction. Wish we had traded him years ago when we could have gotten something for him. The combination of his ego and Scott Boras being his agent doomed him from the start.
Props to Calloway for doing what needed to be done and not letting him put the stink on team. I guarantee he was not liked in that clubhouse.

He was a hero in New York when he first came up. But has now seen himself become the villain. Ironic.
With the bad joke out of the way, I think the TOS really knocked the luster off of Harvey (I'm sure there are medical professionals here who could explain the specifics better than I, so I won't try). He hasn't been the same since. It's super unfortunate considering he'd already beat Tommy John. Independent of the injury, I will definitely agree with those disparaging his attitude. Certainly didn't do himself any favors.

I agree with the comments here, but if old George Steinbrenner where around, he’d be a Yankee in seven days when he is fully released. And then he’d build himself back this summer and make a splashy return this fall.
All that said, he’s never going to turn the corner here. I think he’s been wanting this release.

I loved this guy. He gave his all coming off Tommy John surgery and went way over his innings limit that year trying to win the world series. That may have ruined him as after that it was the Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. At this point though, it may be best for all for a change of scenery. I think he will rise once again. He still throws hard.

Although I’ve never been a fan of his attitude, he might be worth a chance for another team, especially so cheap. He needed to be humbled and that wasn’t going to happen while he was still a Met because he simply never changed his attitude. Perhaps now he will have a new perspective to put that chip on his shoulder to good use.
Would be a good story, and the Mets have an unfortunate history of having players who leave come back to bite them in the ass, so I wouldn’t be shocked if it happens.
The only thing I knew for sure was that he was never going to last with the Mets through free agency.

Are you sure you’re not thinking of Tommy John Surgery (TJS), which is a reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and is pretty common with pitchers in the MLB? It’s when all those pitchers kept getting elbow problems or forearm strains.
TOS is thoracic outlet syndrome and it’s primarily an issue with compression of nerves and blood vessels, which is why one of the symptoms to look out for is tingling of the fingers and a weak arm. It has nothing to do with ligaments.
