Oswaldo Cabrera's recent injury, resulting in a left ankle fracture, evoked strong emotional responses from many in baseball, especially from Carlos Mendoza, the Mets manager. Mendoza, who has a close history with Cabrera from their time in the Yankees organization, expressed profound sadness over the injury, noting Cabrera's joyful personality and significant impact on those around him. As the Mets prepare to face the Yankees in the first Subway Series of the season, Mendoza reflected on how challenging it is to witness someone so spirited experience such a setback.
âYou hate to see that happen to anyone but knowing the kid, how much joy he brings every day, how much he cares, the personality, it just breaks your heart.â
âDoesn't matter if he's going good or bad, he brings joy to everyone. There's people who walk in a room and it just gets brighter, and he's that person. It just sucks.â
