Mets fans, are you still reeling from the fact that Jacob deGrom is no longer part of the organization? This kind of came out of nowhere, too. The Winter Meetings are starting today (Sunday), so the last thing many expected was a Friday night bomb from ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
This certainly stings, but many fans know New York will be fine overall. Yes, losing the best pitcher in baseball (when healthy) isn’t ideal. But the Mets won 95 games without deGrom in 2022 and he’s made just 26 starts in the past two seasons. They already know what life is like without him because of his recent injuries.
