New York Mets: Jacob deGrom gets a haircut, talks 2018 and beyond

Say goodbye to New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom’s flowing locks—his trademark long hair has been chopped.

“I actually saw a picture [with the long hair] today,” deGrom told Mike Puma of the New York Post. “I was like, ‘How did I even have that long hair?’ Honestly I don’t really know why I cut it, I was just kind of tired of it.”

Will deGrom keep his hair short?

“Right now I am,” he said. “Let’s see how the spring goes.”

While he avoided arbitration, coming to an agreement with the team on a one-year, $7.
