Kudos to the Rangers for continuing to get better. — enosarris Here’s the reality: The Mets are about to begin life without deGrom. — ByMcCullough It is a huge risk with an even bigger potential reward. — Britt_Ghiroli Jacob deGrom roundtable:
’s record-setting $102 million contract, Mets GM Billy Eppler downplayed the suggestion that the rest of the Mets’ offseason was held up while awaiting a decision from two-time Cy Young award winner deGrom.“We don’t need one thing to happen first before other things become a reality,” said Eppler, who is entering his second winter running the baseball operations department for owner Steve Cohen.
Here’s the reality: The Mets are about to begin life without deGrom. And Eppler will travel to San Diego this weekend facing heightened pressure to land someone — whether it is Justin Verlander, Carlos Rodón or a combination of arms — who can replace deGrom’s production atop the rotation.
In time, the Mets may breathe easy, knowing they avoided a five-year commitment to deGrom, who has been waylaid by injuries in the past two seasons. But in the present, Eppler has a lot of work to do if the Mets intend to even approach last year’s total of 101 wins. —At last month’s GM meetings, the buzz around Texas was significant. “They’re going to be in on everyone,” a rival executive said.
The Rangers front office believes in deGrom’s health, which is the biggest question mark surrounding the game’s best pitcher and a contract that could escalate to six years. Texas believes the best years are still ahead of the 34-year-old deGrom and that he will anchor a rotation for a contending team. It is a huge risk with an even bigger potential reward.
