It really is insane money but that's the going rate. Will he continue to be an ageless wonder? Is Kate Upton the secret to longevity? Who knows but it's a good way to start the winter meetings.
I got the deGrom news at the exact moment I was walking into a concert and couldn't believe it. Luckily I could then be distracted enough to not think about it for a few hours. At least the Verlander addition helps although like most fans I wanted deGrom to be a lifer.

I prefer this over what it would have taken to outbid the Rangers for Jacob "Traschel" deGrom.

The bad thing is that the Phil's got Trea Turner for the next 11 years.

Yeah that Turner move hurts, he'll be a difference maker for the first half of that contract at least. By the time they're paying him to be average, $27MM/year won't even seem like that much.
I agree though as much as I wanted deGrom to be a lifelong Met and be in the pantheon, Verlander might be just as effective for the full season as deGrom at 34. That big splash contract by Texas is almost definitely not going to be worth it. That's a truly insane contract.

this worked out well for the Rangers, they obtained one of the best pitchers in baseball...which in turn, forced the Mets to take one of the best pitchers in baseball away from their divisional rivals (the Astros)...so in essence, they got 2 Aces stronger

I would wager that we get more starts from Mr Upton in the next three years than the Rangers get from Jake in five.

Why does low grade and major in the same injury description sound like a contribution to me?

If it makes you feel better, Max Fried pulled mid-start as well with a hammy

So...as much crap that we hear about the Mets over spending...the Cincinnati Bengals just signed a player to a 5 year $275 million contract extension... that is $55 mil per season for a middle America team that plays 18 games per season
