As the Mets continue waiting for the return of Jacob deGrom, a new report has emerged concerning the injured ace and potential 2023 free agent possibly joining one of the team’s fiercest rivals.
ESPN’s Buster Olney reported Saturday if deGrom exercises his opt-out clause in his contract at the end of the season, opening the door to leave New York with two years left on his contract, the Braves are believed to be the favorites to land him. The 34-year-old has been on the injured list all season, and is currently preparing to make his first rehab start for minor league affiliate Port St.
