The Mets enter this offseason with a few important free agents, none bigger than star pitcher Jacob deGrom.
No one outside the Mets has really been able to gauge whether deGrom wants to return or not, but it appears that one of deGrom’s teammates is confident he does. Outfielder Mark Canha said that he’s talked with deGrom about potentially staying together next year.
“Jake told me he wants to come back, too, and he really likes it here, too.” Canha said, via The New York Post’s Mike Puma. “I’m hopeful for Jake.”
