Why Mets Shouldn't Overspend for Jacob deGrom amid Latest MLB Free Agency Rumors

The New York Mets won 101 games this season and made the playoffs for the first time since 2016. However, a 2-1 series loss to the San Diego Padres has shifted New York's focus to the offseason.

Free agency figures to be a major focus for the Mets and franchise owner Steve Cohen, and the organization has a huge decision to make regarding star pitcher Jacob deGrom.

The two-time Cy Young-winner has a $30.5 million player option for the 2023 season and has stated previously that he intends to opt out. Following Sunday's loss, deGrom admitted that he's unsure what the future holds.
