[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The former Mets strong voter Jacob deGrom did not stay with his home team as expected, but joined the Rangers with a five-year $185 million (approximately NT$5.7 billion) contract. Head coach Hugh Watt (Buck Showalter) also said in an interview recently that DeGron really thinks he will come back.

The Mets made frequent moves in the off-season, leaving behind stoppers Edwin Diaz and Brandon Nimmo, and also signed Justin Verlander, Chiga Kodai and others. Jeff McNeil signed a four-year, $50 million extension.

However, the Mets failed to retain their most important pitcher in the past few years. The 34-year-old strong pitcher DeGron, who has played for the team for 9 years, allowed him to switch to the Rangers with a 5-year contract.

Mets head coach Hewart revealed in an interview with NJ.com this month that he had a conversation with DeGoron, in which DeGron told Heuvert, "I'm going to sit down with you one day and explain it all. What happened. I really thought I could come back." Hugh Watt also said frankly: "I will believe what he said, but I intend to keep it simple: The Rangers gave him a contract that is light years ahead of everyone, plus Texas No state income tax. Jake will be happy there and vote well."
