The Mets have announced that outfielder Lucas Duda broke his wrist while moving furniture last month, and had surgery to repair it yesterday. He will start rehabbing, and is expected to be ready by the time Spring Training rolls around.
Duda did not live up to expectations in 2012, hitting .239 with 15 homers and 57 RBI while spending some time in the minor leagues to work on his swing.
Well, there is virtually no chance that Duda is going to get traded now, as no team will want to take a chance on him while rehabbing from this injury. I personally thought that he was going to packaged in a deal, perhaps around Justin Upton, this winter. The upper-management likes him and his potential, but I'd rather have Ike Davis than Duda, and that is what it is going to come down to since Duda just cannot handle the outfield.
Also, this is just another typical Mets players injury. Bad luck haunts this team, and some fans think that the squad is "snake-bitten", which would be a nice way of saying that nothing goes our way.
