With the ink just about dry on his 5 year, $137.5 million contract extension, Jacob deGrom is set to be a Met for a long time. But what will those years look like?
The range of outcomes on a deal like deGrom’s is wide. You have Johan Santana blowing his shoulder out at 32, and you have Max Scherzer finishing in the top two for the Cy Young from age 31 through 33 with no signs of slowing down. But these are the extremes and pinpointing the most likely landing spot in between is not so easy a task.
