:whoo:
interested to see if DeGrom’s contract has any deferred money like his last one with the Mets did.

Mets are paying him for a few years next decade, and he comes off the books the same year as Bonilla in 2039 (I think).

DeGrom probably left because cause of the lack of run support in many starts :mjcry:



This is so random having him sign to the Rangers of all teams :dahell: I thought he would go an contender if he was gonna leave the Mets. The Dodgers, Phillies, Braves, Astros, etc, weren't interested?

Apparently Mets focusing on verlander now, but isn't that a panic move? Unless its a short term deal
It's not really a panic move. They won't mind a big short term bag. They were already going to do that with deGrom and there's no QO attached. This is more ideal than Rodon imo. I'd expect 2 years.

For that money? Nah.

Generally speaking, Atlanta was an option because that's close to home, but $37 mil a year tax free :manny:

There was a bunch of smoke about him wanting to go south and get away from the east coast media frenzy. The 4th/5th years will probably age like milk on the field but be worth it overall for Texas just for the way Leiter and some of their other young arms will get to pick his brain.

I hope so.


That deGrom deal is crazy. Texas better have a means to an end with all these big deals because this is nuts.
I don't understand what their plan is. They just finished 68-94 and now they're paying three guys almost $100 million. Their lineup is ass and they still need a couple more starters.

You could tell from his body language that he was collectively done with the Mets for this reason.

Their plan is to put butts in the seats
DeGrom is only once every five days. Nobody else on their team is box office and people don't show up for losing teams in baseball.
