SAN DIEGO — Could Jacob deGrom be making his last start for the New York Mets on Monday night when he faces the San Diego Padres at Petco Park?
As silly as that seems, there are rumors circulating about how big a haul the Mets could acquire by trading the ace of their staff.
“I guess it’s a good thing if other teams want you,” deGrom recently told the New York Post. “But I’ve got a job to do here, that’s my main focus.”
DeGrom (11-3, 3.37 ERA) has seldom been hotter than he is right now.
