In case you forgot, former Mets ace Jacob deGrom now plays for the Texas Rangers.
Well, at least he was supposed to in 2023. The former NL Cy Young winner signed a five-year, $185 million deal with the now World Series champion Rangers. And known WFAN loudmouth Sal Licata will eat his words again.
deGrom got off to a great start, going 2-0 with a 2.67 ERA in six starts…and then had Tommy John surgery in June. But it’s fine, really! His goal is to be back by August, approximately 14 months after the operation.
