DeGrom's agent is doing his job. He said the Mets should trade him now or give him an extension.
As much as I don't want to see DeGrom go, now would be the time to trade him for an offer that can't be refused. I don't trust the team that picked Jay Bruce over J.D. Martinez to rapidly improve themselves before DeGrom hours free agency. Move him, Fam, Wheeler, Cabrera, and reload.
We can have a nice little core with Thor, Matz, Nimmo, Amed, Comfort. We can build on that an should be able to compete
