Jacob deGrom is expected to opt out of his contract with the Mets and become a free agent this offseason, making him one of the more intriguing stories of the offseason. And, while there have been rumors as to deGrom’s desire to leave New York, his former teammate implied that may be over blown.
Zack Wheeler, who spent six years with deGrom in New York, said that the star pitcher has talked to him about how much he’s enjoyed playing for the Mets.
“He told me he is happy there,” Wheeler said, via Mike Puma of the New York Post. “I just think he wants to get compensated for what he’s done.”
