You're likely to be reading a lot about Jacob deGrom over the next few weeks. Will the Mets trade him? Sure, they've said they're willing to consider anything, but that's a far cry from pulling the trigger on dealing a 30-year-old ace. In a trade market woefully thin on starting pitching, deGrom is the most intriguing name.
Can you envision him pitching for the Yankees, and what his arrival would mean for the postseason? Think Justin Verlander 2.0. Whether deGrom is dealt or not, it's a great topic for discussion.
CC Sabathia first pitched in the big leagues in 2001 -- with a lot more fastball than he showed against the Red Sox on Friday night at Yankee Stadium, when he made a team showing the kind of stick the Red Sox have shown this season look as if they were swinging at butterflies.
