Mike Puma of the New York Post reports the New York Mets will shut down Jacob deGrom for the remainder of the season.
The Mets have decided to shut down Jacob deGrom for the season. There is "no point" in letting him pitch this year says Luis Rojas.
Leave it to the Mets to make such an anticlimactic announcement with six remaining games in the season. deGrom was always unlikely to pitch, especially with the Mets squandering their playoff chances.
According to Spotrac, the Mets have the third-highest payroll in the majors at $199.
