Jacob deGrom, the two-time Cy Young Award winner and one of baseball's most dominant pitchers, agreed to a huge deal with a Texas Rangers club hoping to compete in the AL West. Full details here:
Jacob deGrom, the two-time Cy Young Award winner and one of baseball's most dominant pitchers even as injuries limited his availability, cashed in on his pedigree by agreeing to a stunning five-year, $185 million contract with the Texas Rangers on Friday.
Nonetheless, deGrom will be guaranteed $37 million per season, second only to former teammate Max Scherzer's $43.3 million per annum on a three-year deal with the Mets. DeGrom also tops the $36 million that Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole earns on a nine-year, $324 million contract signed after the 2019 season.
And the Rangers, clearly, were undaunted by any physical concerns, guaranteeing deGrom nearly $50 million more than he received in his 2019 extension from the Mets, when he was four years younger and coming off consecutive Cy Youngs. Now, deGrom enters the mercenary stage of his career, not unlike former teammate Scherzer - who signed a three-year, $130 million contract to join him with the Mets this year. They, along with fellow free agent Justin Verlander, have ushered in a new era of the boutique pitcher - a generational talent plugged into a win-now rotation while earning massive annual salaries on shorter-term deals.
