Mets haven’t had a lot of luck with their $100 million men

Jacob deGrom becomes the fifth player in Mets history to receive a contract worth more than $100 million. The Amazin’s didn’t necessarily get what they paid for in the first four cases. Here’s a look:

Carlos Beltran
Seven years, $119 million (2005-11)

He made four All-Star games in seven seasons and finished fourth in MVP voting in 2006, but he famously struck out to end the NLCS that year.

Johan Santana
Six years, $137.5 million (2008-14)

He finished third in Cy Young voting in his first season in Flushing, won 13 games the next year and threw the only Mets’ no-hitter in 2012, but injuries took their toll and he never pitched for them after that season.
