When speaking to reporters yesterday, Jacob deGrom said he is “probably not as” optimistic about a contract extension before Opening Day as he was. “You see guys signing. I think I see them, too. So I guess we wait,” he said.
deGrom also said he’s really trying not to think about the contract situation because “it’s getting close to Opening Day and I think my focus is on that right now.”
deGrom said there has been dialogue between the two sides, but he doesn’t know where it’s going to end up.
