The Mets’ soft-spoken ace can’t hide his hard desire to add to his trophy case.
Jacob deGrom, the winner of two straight National League Cy Young Awards, showed up at Citi Field on Saturday to participate in the Mets’ FanFest. Though he did his duty in answering reporters’ questions about the Mets’ manager shuffle that most recently landed on Luis Rojas, as well as the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal that created such turmoil, deGrom grew most excited when asked if adding a third straight Cy Young fueled him.
“Yeah, definitely,” he said.
