There were many Jacob deGrom questions and few concrete answers. That’s a simple summary of Brodie Van Wagenen’s press conference on Thursday. The newest New York Mets general manager took questions from the media for about 21 minutes and it’s clear that deGrom’s contract situation is the top storyline.
“All Jacob deGrom questions, really huh,” were Van Wagenen’s final remarks before the SNY cameras cut off.
Almost 19 of the 21 minutes were devoted to deGrom’s contract situation. In other words, locking up the reigning Cy Young is the biggest storyline surrounding the Metropolitans.
