This Matt Harvey news is shocking to me. Matt Harvey just turned down the chance to play in Las Vegas. @ChrisCotillo

It would be great if Harvey came to the Yankees and figure it all out but I don’t expect the Yankees to be interested because he’s done. @chuckphilpott

Who would’ve thought the Matt Harvey story with the Mets would’ve ended like this. He was an electric talent that could never put it together after injury. Sad. Wish him nothing but the best moving forward but this was the right move. @tjsund4

I will never forgive Terry Collins for robbing Matt Harvey of his Mets legacy. @elaborateskeim

There was nothing more exciting as a Mets fan than Harvey Day in 2015. I think more attention needs to be paid to the positive things he accomplished. Enough of the Dark Knight falling. @AJPich

This Harvey news honestly doesn’t feel real. I never stopped rooting for him to get himself back on track, and I hope a new team help him do that. @julianne_des

Matt Harvey is an icon. His debut was the first sign of hope for this franchise in a half-decade. His starts showed me a new level of love for this game. He was a damn superhero. This is a weird day and it’s a very sad day. @ScooterOkula

I’m glad Harvey is gone. He’s a distraction and never even showed glimpses of the pitcher he once was. We finally have the pitching depth to allow us to let him go and I say good riddance @duckisgod

Just thinking about what harvey could have been 3 years ago he was a top 5 pitcher he started the allstar game he could have been....#sad @mullments44

As a Mets fan, Matt Harvey was like the first bright spot since that goddamn curve in ‘06. Been one helluva ride, wish him all the best @CAL_isthenics
