NY post is reporting that Wheeler was speaking on deGrom. Said Jake is happy with the Mets and just wants to be paid fairly.

If all that's standing between the Mets and the greatest Mets pitcher of our generation is money, pay the man. Give him anywhere between 45 and 50 and call it a day. This better not turn into Seaver 2.0
Don't let the Yankees find out that money is the problem for de Grom.

Because that will get fixed real fast.

:mjgrin:

What's 'fair' tho? We're talking about a guy, that while is dominant as can be.. hasn't even give us 30 starts since 2019.

12 starts in 2020
15 starts in 2021
11 starts in 2022

Do we really think he's gonna find the fountain of youth? If we're being honest.. I wouldn't go higher than the 30.5m he's due to make this upcoming year.

He's been using Max as a baseline and I'm good with calling that fair market value. I'll happily pay more annually as long as the contract doesn't go too long. He probably has 2 or 3 years of A+ and 2 years of being human. I don't think he'll fall off a cliff within the next 5 years

Center is an interesting idea especially with Marte nearby, but I would rather have Nimmo. Once Turner's speed goes it's gonna get bad and Nimmo draws more walks and strikes out less. He'll also be cheaper.
How mush cheaper do you think? Nimmo's rumored to want 20 per. I'm sure you can get Turner for 25/26 per. And have you looked at Turner's numbers? Cause I hadn't until earlier today. Dude is a beast. Better hitter than Nimmo. More speed. More power. More stolen bases.

Turner gonna get 30 easy and it'll be till his late 30s. I'm not saying he's bad, but I like Nimmo better at what he does from 20ish a year over 7 plus than Turner at 30ish for the same time.
