Former Mets ace has ‘outside the box’ Jacob deGrom trade plan
Jacob deGrom and Bob Ojeda Getty Images (2)The decision the Mets face with their rotation ace isn’t much of one, according to a former franchise warhorse.
Bob Ojeda says trading Jacob deGrom is a no-brainer heading to the July 31 non-waiver deadline, but the former Mets pitcher wouldn’t stop there.
“You have to be thinking outside the box, trade deGrom and [Steven] Matz, with deGrom obviously the headliner,” Ojeda said Tuesday. “I am talking a massive deal. I am not talking a 3-for-1 because I don’t think that is enough, but I think a multiple-trade deal is in order and I think it would be fabulous for the organization and I think the Mets fans would embrace it.”
