Jacob deGrom has officially become a free agent.
The MLBPA released an updated list of free agents Monday morning with the players who opted out of their contracts, with deGrom and right-hander Taijuan Walker on the list. Chris Bassitt, who has a mutual option for 2023, is expected to decline it to become a free agent as well.
DeGrom announced his intention to opt out of the final guaranteed year of his contract during spring training. He was owed $30.5 million in 2023 with the Mets holding a $32.
