Will Jacob deGrom return to the Mets in 2023? According to a recent report from Mike Puma of the New York Post, the front office might be gaining confidence in that possibility.
Here’s the biggest part regarding deGrom’s reported desires:
A free agent after opting out from his contract, deGrom is seeking a new deal that would position him as MLB’s highest-paid pitcher, ahead of the Mets’ Max Scherzer. The Mets have received enough indications from deGrom’s camp, according to a source, that they believe the two-time Cy Young award winner wants to stay, provided there isn’t a significant discrepancy in offers.
