Van Wagenen Doesn’t Think DeGrom Contract Saga Will Be Distraction For Mets
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom wants to hear the New York Mets’ best pitch on a multiyear contract by opening day — and the team thinks that’s a good call, too.
New general manager Brodie Van Wagenen, who was deGrom’s agent before switching sides at the bargaining table last fall, told reporters Tuesday at spring training there’s “no reason for a distraction to carry into the regular season.”
