The agent for New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom wants to see the team either sign him to a long-term deal or trade him now.
"We have discussed Jacob’s future with the Mets at length," CAA's Brodie van Wagenen said Monday, per Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic. "Jacob has expressed interest in exploring a long-term partnership that would keep him in a Mets uniform for years to come. If the Mets don’t share the same interest, we believe their best course of action is to seriously consider trade opportunities now."
"The inertia of the current situation could complicate Jacob’s relationship with the club and creates an atmosphere of indecision," Van Wagenen added, per Rosenthal.
