Mets free agent and 2-time Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom has officially signed a 5-year, $185M deal with the Texas Rangers that includes a $20M 6th-year team option that would bring the deal to $205M. This comes after weeks of seemingly less and less conversation between the deGrom and the Mets. According to NYP Insider Joel Sherman, they offered him a 3-year $120M contract but were unable to seal the deal as they were unwilling to go over three years, let alone go to five. The Rangers are not a shocking location as they were one of the biggest contenders to sign him once he became available.
GOODBYE! If you don't want to be here then we don't want you here! Stayed through horrible ownership and bad teams just to leave when things are getting better? LAME!
