Yeah, $2M per start is not great value. And that's assuming he starts 15 games a year (his high water mark for starts over the last 3 years) during the next 5 years.
I love deGrom, but its hard to see him getting back to a consistent level of play.
Hopefully the Mets can go out and get some talent with the money they are saving. I'm not sure Verlander, who turns 40 in February is the what they need. Would be great to get some young talent to go along with veterans like Scherzer.
