Justin Verlander, step right up — and meet the Mets?
The three-time Cy Young award winner’s leverage with the Mets may have increased after deGrom on Friday signed a five-year contract with the Rangers worth $185 million, ending his illustrious tenure with the organization that drafted and developed him. The 34-year-old deGrom’s deal also includes a sixth-year vesting option that could increase the contract’s value to $222 million.
The lefty Rodon, who turns 30 on Saturday, is expected to command a significantly longer contract than Verlander and in addition would cost the Mets draft picks as a player who received a qualifying offer. In the Mets’ case, the compensation would be their second and fifth selections in next year’s draft. Last season Rodon went 14-8 with a 2.88 ERA for the Giants and finished sixth in the National League Cy Young award race.
