Ex-Mets manager: Jacob deGrom 'didn't want to leave' New York
If Jacob deGrom had his way, he wouldn't only be healthy, he'd still be pitching for the New York Mets. Instead, deGrom took the Texas Rangers' five-year, $185 million offer and surprised the Mets with little notice during the 2022 offseason. “He didn't want to leave,” Showalter said on Wednesday's “The Terry Collins Show,” hosted by the former manager.
