The Mets are the talk of MLB’s offseason so far. Before Steve Cohen took over as team owner, it was usually for the wrong reasons. Not anymore.
New York has spent just shy of $360 million since Jacob deGrom decided to take his talents to Arlington and play for the Texas Rangers. If we add in the record five-year, $102 million deal they agreed to with Edwin Diaz at the outset of free agency, the Mets have committed close to $500 million on player contracts. And it’s still not Christmas yet.
The club’s most recent agreement is with starting pitcher Kodai Senga for five years and $75 million.
