Damn the Mets for Kumar Rocker

i love kumar...sucks of all the places he goes to its the god damn mets

Meanwhile...

Barring a drastic change between now and the 5 p.m. ET signing deadline, the New York Mets do not plan to sign right-hander Kumar Rocker, the 10th overall pick in the amateur draft, sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.

Rocker, 21, whose dominance at Vanderbilt made him the most well-known college player in perhaps a decade, had an agreement in place to sign for $6 million after he slipped down draft boards earlier this month. But the deal fell apart following his physical examination, and multiple sources said they do not expect a revised one to come together before the deadline.

The possibility of the Mets and Rocker coming to an 11th-hour agreement always exists, and past deals that looked dead were eventually consummated. But the momentum in recent days, and the expectation of multiple sources, is that the Mets are unlikely to change their stance.

Does he go back in the draft next year or is free to sign anywhere

[MDS]

he goes back into the draft next year and the mets get the pick back...so they draft 11th in 2022 and everything is slotted around that

[PhillyPhreak54]

Ah ok.

Wonder what the MRI is showing
