More than I thought he'd get given his medical history. Huge risk for the Rangers, but he is a generational talent, if he can stay healthy.

That's more than $10,000 per pitch. Think about that next time you are watching deGrom's pitch count.

I'm stunned the Mets let DeGrom, who is possibly the best pitcher in their team's history (sorry Tom), walk.

Besides the wild contract offer, all indications are that deGrom preferred to play in Texas.

Interesting. Why is that?

Closer to his home of Florida and apparently because of his family. From the beginning of last year he seemed to be dropping signals.

Also, no state Income Tax in Texas...
