I agreed with most of the others
1. I do not believe we should disparage some one unless they deserve it. He does not deserve it. He has a right to get the most money possible that someone is willing to pay and it was Texas. 2. A a Met he was a class act and he was a fantastic pitcher when Healthy. Sadly last few years he was not consistently healthy. 3. I hope he does well with Texas (As long as he does not hurt my Team ![]() ![]() 4. I hope he stays healthy long enough to get into the HOF because he is trending that way 5. Wish the Mets still had him

deGrom looking good so far, despite limited playing time (you could say that about the last 4 years though).
He is averaging an absurd 14.5 Ks/9 Innings, which would be the highest ever. He is leading the league in strikeouts at 43, even though he has pitched only 26.2 innings. And with only 3 walks, his strikeout to walk ratio is an insane 14.33 (the highest single season ever is 11.62). His WHIP is .79 which would be in the top 6 single seasons ever including Negro Leagues. He is leading the league in Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) with 1.42, which would also be in the top 6 single seasons ever including Negro Leagues. And the Rangers are in 1st place with 2 less losses than the Mets. Who knows if he will stay healthy, but the Mets could really use him right now with Verlander and Scherzer out. They are saying Verlander could be back as early as their trip to Detroit in the first week of May though, and Scherzer's suspension will be overy by then too. Hopefully deGrom, Scherzer and Verlander all find a way to play significant time this year so we can see these generational pitchers pitch. Last edited by cgjackson222; 04-24-2023 at 10:05 AM. |

with the extra playoff spots..you have a margin of error and still make it to the playoffs with your ace..
the measurement is in the playoff games to clinch or to avoid elimination.. |

Let's see if he can pitch 162 innings for the 5th time of his career.

If deGrom can help them reach the playoffs it would be a pretty big deal. Winning some games in the playoffs would be icing on the cake. |

With that .420 winning percentage last year I'm failing to see how the Rangers are such a shoe in they don't need DeGrom before the playoffs.

$185,000,000 contract for a 35 year old pitcher who can't pitch more than a few games a year, and they didn't get insurance on the contract. Brilliant move. |

At that price with his history foolish to not put a minimum innings pitched clause in there.

also if they could it was probably very expensive with Degroms health history and I am not sure if he was even insurable regardless Texas knew what they were walking into and they took a gamble and sadly for the first 2 years of that contract(this year and next year) it looks like a total loss. And it is a shame since they are having such a good year so far
