The New York Mets may have emerged as the favorites to sign Jacob deGrom in free agency. The Texas Rangers and Atlanta Braves have reportedly been the Mets’ biggest threats in the deGrom sweepstakes. However, recent reports state that the Braves’ odds of landing the ace is unlikely. Meanwhile, the Rangers’ are reportedly pursuing Carlos Rodon.
If the Rangers go all in on Rodon, SNY’s Andy Martino said the Mets may be the only other team willing to offer Jacob deGrom a 3-year deal. It should be noted that there could be other teams that end up offering the right-hander 3 years. But given his injury history, there will be hesitancy in that regard.
