Luis Severino takes shot at Jacob deGrom over inning threat

The Subway Series is starting early this year. And Luis Severino fired the first pitch.

The Yankees ace, who recently avoided arbitration by accepting a four-year, $40 million extension, critiqued the potential self-imposed innings limit being considered by Mets star Jacob deGrom, as he seeks a contract extension. The reigning NL Cy Young winner won’t be a free agent until after the 2020 season, but the 30-year-old’s agent has floated the idea of cutting back his workload to protect his prized right arm before signing a new deal.

For me, I would never do something like that,” Severino told NJ.
