Scott Kazmir

A pitcher pitches an inning with a broken elbow. Another pitcher suffers a gruesome injury jumping on a trampoline. A third pitcher, traded for the team's top prospect, goes on the DL. Sounds like the Mets. But it's the Yankees.The Mets have a well-d...

The Tejada Issue Ruben Tejada did not appear in camp until the actual reporting date. This is a guy who needs to prove himself and needs to be there for Daniel Murphy too. This is one thing you never had a complaint with Reyes about and as David Wrig...

Scott Kazmir will always be the one who got away for a lot of Mets fans.  Cast off as trade bait, he was traded for Victor Zambrano going on a decade ago. As we all know,  Zambrano was a bust in New York and fans have always wondered what c...

Looks like Scott Kazmir won’t be reuniting with the Mets. He had his tryout and unfortunately he was not able to hit over 88 MPH with his fastball. Some scouts seem to have him at 91 but all the guns are different so who knows. Scott Kazmir did hav...
