We already can begin compiling what promises to be a long list of differences between Jacob deGrom and his Mets placement, Justin Verlander.
Beyond the pitching, deGrom is also apparently a marvel at negotiating,The $364 million Mets aren’t necessarily known for bargains, and Verlander is the highest-paid player in the game by annual salary , but the total guarantee on his deal is almost $100 million less than deGrom’s .DeGrom actually got a five-year deal, as he’s younger, and very likely also gets extra credit for having more innings left on his arm Verlander got two guaranteed years.
“I think I’m constantly adapting. I’m always seeking out new information, with the end goal of that information being to do what I can to carry my career as long as possible and to stay at my peak as long as I possibly can,” Verlander said. “You’ve seen some guys in the history of our sport and other sports carry it into their mid-40s. I don’t see why not.
The odd comparison often raised regarding Verlander is Tom Brady — hey, it’s a fairly rare trick to carry athletic greatness into middle age. But that’s really not fair to either of them. Brady lasted to 45 , but he endured two decades of hits from human locomotives.The better comparison remains Nolan Ryan. Verlander actually referenced both Ryan and Jamie Moyer, who both lasted even longer than Brady, to 46 and 49, respectively.
