The five-year, $185MM deal between Jacob deGrom<\/strong> and the Rangers came together pretty quickly, and deGrom didn’t give the Mets a chance to counter the offer, ESPN’s Buster Olney writes. This isn’t to say that the mets<\/strong> would have countered, as they \u201chad no intention of offering anything close to where the winning bid landed.\u201d While the Mets had some sense in November that deGrom might prefer to remain in New York if his offers were all in the same price range, Olney writes that some in the organization felt deGrom was starting to gradually distance himself from the Mets as the season went front.<\/p>\n

There was also some mutual interest between deGrom and the Braves<\/strong>, relating back to an October report suggesting deGrom would ideally like to pitch closer to his home in Florida. According to Olney, the Braves were recently looking into deGrom, but his desired price tag was too high for the team.<\/p>\n
