de Grom gets a new deal

[BillyWilliams]

Reports are deGrom gets a 5yr $137.5M with the mets.

Kinda low.

I bet age is a big factor on the final number, I believe he's already 30

Here are some details about the contract (MLBtraderumors.com)

 

"Earlier this year, deGrom agreed to a $17MM arbitration contract for the 2019 season. That effectively remains in place, though it is now restructured as a $10MM signing bonus and $7MM salary, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports on Twitter. What would have been deGrom’s final arbitration season, 2020, will be locked in at $23MM. He’ll then earn $33.5MM in each of the next two seasons and $30.5MM in 2023 — if he does not first opt out. The option-year value is $32.5MM, ESPN.com’s Jeff Passan tweets."

Hopefully he stops whining over contracts.

And the Mets continue their stranglehold on MLB players whose last name begins with a lowercase “d”...

Yes, and he turns 31 in 3 months.

There's less than a year difference between him and sale.

one was due to be a FA, one wasn't.

it's good to see the NYM pitching staff will own NYC for the next handful of years.

Fun Fact:

one NY team's ACE will start game 1 for his team

the other NY team's "ace" is headed to the team's miami clinic for a month.

He doesn't get hit.

Age when he becomes FA

 

Sale will be a FA at 30, deGrom at 32.

Hopefully he stops whining over contracts.

 

Hopefully Thor stops whining over other players' contracts.

[Northern Star]

I'm just amazed at the Mets' ability to extend anyone. If I was in their organization, I'd be on the first plane out once I hit FA.

It’s not too often players in Sale’s position-one year from free agency-sign an extension...

I think if we really tried we could make up a decent list of guys who have done it.
