What gets lost in the moment as we debate the dollars and whether they make sense on Jacob deGrom’s new contract is just what a pleasure it was to watch him pitch in New York.
, and common wisdom — if not common sense — had become that deGrom wanted out of New York.
But the Mets learned not long before the rest of the baseball world that deGrom was gone. They never received a chance to counter the Rangers’ proposal. And what would that have even been to convince deGrom to stay? Texas has no state income tax. To merely match this in actual dollars received, the Mets would have had to far exceed the Rangers’ offer.
There was a feeling from the moment deGrom proclaimed his opt-out intentions that heading south would appeal to him. It is not the distance. Dallas and Queens are about equidistant from DeLand, Fla. This is about environment. DeGrom’s warm-up music — Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man” — was telling us a lot about the pitcher before each of his starts.
