This takes a bit of the sting away from losing DeGrom to Texas

Glad he's not going to a west coast team.

What’s your team?

Dodgers, who actually need pitching, but IMO don't think he would fit.

It'll blow up in their faces, he's gonna show his age, and Phillies who he'll face alot, have his number.

I will miss DeGrom He was something special to watch

But this makes better sense for two years than a long term DeGrom contract

That would be the most Metsy scenario. But the guy just one the cy young, and he probably has 1 or 2 great seasons left.

Is 39 too old? Maybe. $86M is a bundle.

Mets can eat a two year contract not a four year commitment

$86 million for Justine Verlander?
Just think how much they might pay for Justin Verlander!

While I would have preferred he stay in Houston we'll be fine without him.
It wasnt like he was pitching lights out in the postseason either.

He's been fine even after the tommy john surgery.
But yeah it's a risk to pay him that much at his age.

Any idea how many starts Verlander pitches to make $86M? I heard DeGrom will probably get $1M per start with the Rangers.

Been many years since DeGrom got 35 starts
He will be lucky if he gives them 20 starts of six innings

When the dollar amount exceeds $1M per start it really makes one think how amazing that is.
