Mets made right calculated risk with Justin Verlander
Elsa | Getty ImagesThe Mets had a choice to make after Jacob deGrom’s Texas two-step out of town. Patch the hole with several middle-class signings or swing for another ace?
Since these are Steve Cohen’s Amazins, they went with the latter and brought Justin Verlander to the Big Apple on a big-money deal.
It’s a big risk for many reasons. But at the end of the day, it is a preferable risk compared to matching deGrom’s Rangers contract.
