It was never once relayed as a hard cap even going back to Spring Training. In fact Harvey actually scoffed at the idea of being on an innings limit much like he complained about the 6-man rotation and being skipped occasionally. The plan was always to get him to October.
To wait until fucking September to backtrack and say it's not a soft cap is a complete load of shit on the part of Boras and Harvey. If either of them had been clear about a hard cap in Spring Training, the Mets would have started Harvey's season in May or something and this wouldn't be an issue.
