The Dodgers are looking for starting pitching this offseason, whether that’s bringing back Clayton Kershaw and/or Tyler Anderson, going outside the organization, or both. If they decide to make a splash in free agency, one potential target would be Jacob deGrom, who has been the best pitcher in baseball over the last several years when he’s healthy, which isn’t very often.
Earlier this week, deGrom opted out of his contract with the Mets, choosing to become a free agent for the first time. And as MLB insider Jon Heyman notes in the New York Post, deGrom has let the Texas Rangers, last winter’s big spenders, know he’s interested in playing for them.
