We finally got a big move in baseball’s offseason yesterday, as former Met Jacob deGrom agreed on a contract with the Texas Rangers.

BREAKING: Right-hander Jacob deGrom has signed a five-year, $185 million contract with the Texas Rangers, sources tell ESPN. Physical is passed. Deal is done. Includes conditional sixth-year option that would take total deal to $222 million. Full no-trade clause. A massive haul.

Phillies fans are well familiar with deGrom, and there won’t be many shedding a tear over his departure from the division.
