In Major League Baseball, the FA smash is becoming an old story. The contract for extension is now on the rise with the existing team.
With Mike Trout's 12 years and $430 million jackpot, Paul Goldsmith signed an extension deal before playing a game for St. Justin Verlander and Alex Bregman (Hoston) also joined the group.
But last year's National League Cy Young Award winner Jacob Degrom is looking elsewhere. He and his agent told the Mets that the opening day was the deadline for negotiations on an extended contract.
Mets' leader is brodie van wagenen,who was Degrom's agent. The deadline for negotiations with the new agent, Jeff Berry, is five days away as of Monday.
According to MLB, Degrom was only keeping an eye on the situation and did not look at In fact, it may not be so positive. I'm just watching now," he said.
The deadline is approaching, and talks have been exchanged between the club and the agent, but Degrom can't afford to think about the contract. Degrom said, "I don't have time to care about the contract. The opening game is coming up and we're focusing on it now.
MLB analyzed that "they are cautious about going to the FA market, and players who are satisfied with their existing teams often choose to sign extension contracts." Degrom is also watching news of a series of extended contracts coming from around him.
Degrom will not be a free agent until the end of the 2020 season. There may be a burden on age. Degrom said, "I want to run for a long time in the Mets. So I keep looking at the situation. I don't know the details of the negotiations. We can't even say what happens.
Now Degrom is waiting for his first start of the opening game since his debut. "I'm looking forward to the opening game.
