Listen to enough sports talk radio and you’re bound to hear ridiculous trade ideas. On WFAN in New York, several New York Mets fans have decided it’s time to trade Jacob deGrom.
It’s a pretty sad state. While New York Yankees fans are insistent they can deal Brett Gardner and pick up Madison Bumgarner this summer, the Mets faithful are ready to move on from their franchise pitcher.
Now is not the time to trade deGrom. As an ace controlled for two more seasons after this, the Mets would give up a lot more than they would get back.
