I’ve followed the Rangers since I was 7 or 8 years old. Used to listen to their ballgames on the radio going to sleep as a kid.

Hope it works out. DeGrom is obviously great when he’s healthy but he’s 34 and seems like he’s hurt more often than not lately.

They’re definitely spending some money to get free agents in. Something they never used to do

Not sure why Mets wouldn't spend on this.

Well, frankly, I'd given DeGrom this deal AND JV 2 yrs 80mm

I'm very surprised as well. I figured they would do anything to keep their ace

The Mets better sign Kate Upton or it's a "bust"
