If you hung out on the Twitter machine Sunday night, there was an interesting rumor concerning the Mets. After watching Jacob deGrom sign with the Texas Rangers late last week, New York’s focus turned to Justin Verlander and Carlos Rodon.
While the Yankees appear to be ramping up their pursuit of Rodon, the Mets have been attempting to reel in Verlander. According to former MLB player Carlos Baerga, the Amazins will be successful in their efforts. This made the rounds on social media Sunday night, but none of baseball’s big news breakers have confirmed that negotiations with the AL Cy Young winner are close to a resolution.
