Eventually, the New York Mets and ace Jacob deGrom should come to terms on some type of agreement for a contract extension. They can’t possibly let this carry over into the regular season, can they?
In case you decided to give up sports for lent and you’re back already after breaking your promise, in only the first week at Spring Training, deGrom made headlines by saying he may put an innings limit on himself if the team doesn’t sign him to an extension by Opening Day. The strict deadline doesn’t end the possibility of a long-term deal, but it does sour things between the two.
