NEW YORK -- If the Mets still have a shot at finishing in first place in the National League East on Wednesday, manager Buck Showalter said that ace Jacob deGrom could start the season finale.
"He's available to pitch [Wednesday]. Potentially could," Showalter said. "It's one of many options that have been communicated with him and Max and all the guys."
If the Mets choose to start deGrom, they would forgo the opportunity to give their ace extra time to rest for one of the first two games of a potential Wild Card series.
