Giving an injury prone pitcher, albeit an all-time great one, a five-year guaranteed contract at those numbers is a humongous gamble. The @Mets made the absolute right decision walking away. They know him better than anyone and knew it wouldn’t be wise to even come close.
@RealMichaelKay @Mets he didn't give the Mets the chance to match. So we don't know if they made the decision or not.
@TmkSburner @RealMichaelKay @Mets They are paying a 40 something pitcher who has had injuries the past 3 years $43 mill. Degrom was injured early in career then rattled of great seasons. Maybe if they had a bullpen his workload may have saved these past 2 years along with covid and lockout. #stern is not losing $
@Cheers464646 @RealMichaelKay @Mets How many games did Scherzer and deGrom each start this past season? Can you answer that question?
