@@Medium_Johnson in this case it worked out. But imagine if they applied the same policy with harvey and syndeagard, who were on similar trajectories at the time, but ended up not reaching the same level. If you set a precedent like that, you end up getting burnt. DeGrom happened to pan out exactly as expected, but more often than not it's better to wait with pitchers before committing.

Degrom is their ace. Clueless baseball fans think syndrrgaard and Harvey were their aces. Clues individuals that don’t understand pitching and what it takes to stay healthy and to be able to throw hard like after u enter u 30s. Harvey and syndergaard are straight dust and always were compared to degrom. Not even kinda close, he’s miles ahead of both of them and probably can’t even lift as much as either of them. Watch highlights, and if you’re even kinda smart you’ll see degrom is their ace.

Let's talk to his agent and see if he would Jake would sign after a healthy 2019 season and a year before free agency. "HEY BRODY WHAT DO YOU THINK?" I honestly am at a lost where a top 5 starting pitcher has been less than a year away from free agency and signed an extension where they haven't been 37 years old or hurt. I am sure there is an exception, Zack Greinke? Randy Johnson? Pedro Martinez? David Price? Max Scherzer? Cliff Lee? Sabathia? Hmmm, Johan trade extension might be it.

[@joshuaazenberg4664]

I'm with Kay on this one. Why sign him now?

[@jamesmillard3773]

JAZ Drummer I agree. Obviously you want deGrom to be with you long term, but what if he gets injured or just plays absolutely terrible. There is no point in taking the risk. It’s not like he’s going to play poorly because he’s “not getting enough money” or anything like that. He won the Cy Young award last year for crying out loud and he got paid less. I mean come on!!!!

[@butterthyme2241]

From what I read about the situation. DeGrom over the last two years has been really expressing his discontent on how he was being paid. Last year if I remember correctly even made a joke about his pay compared to other pitchers with less talent. Getting the deal done now is a message to the rest of the young players on this team that essentially we will work with you as opposed to whatever the hell the Mets were doing in the past where they seemed hell bent on not paying anyone but Cespedes.

[@TheFruitney]

Other than Murphy (Whom they should have paid), who else was there to pay besides Cespedes?

[@patrickgray5633]

I will say this though in certain markets you must sign players early I'm a Reds fan we resigned Suarez at 3rd base 7 years 56 million. If you don't sign guys early on small market teams those guys hit free agency you'll never see them again cause your pocket book isn't the Yankees Red Sox or Dodgers. Kay may have his own rules but you can't wait all the time.

No, his supposed "knowledge" comes from the fact that he sits his ass down everyday and watches the Yankess/Mets. Tell me again how that is ANY DIFFERENT from any other fan? He was never a coach, he was never a player. He knows jackshit about the sport/team, compared to any other fan who watches games. Don't give me that bullshit where just cause he's on the radio he knows more.

[@raheyna8888]

The point with signing deGrom now is because they control 5 years now instead of 2. The Mets will have deGrom for ages 30, 31, 32, 33, 34. Those could be essentially his last remaining GREAT years before he hits age 35 and starts to decline. If the Mets waited longer and deGrom continued to be the ace he is, then deGrom most likely leaves at age 32 and signs elsewhere. The Mets did the right thing by locking him up for those other 3 years. Idk why this is hard to understand...

[@av0278]

I'm a Mets fan but Michael Kay is right. They were under no obligation to sign deGrom to an extension now but let me be clear, I'm glad they did. It was already becoming a distraction. So much so, Syndergaard & several other players were publicly voicing their displeasure. Management should never make business decisions based on criticism or pressure, whether it's coming from players, fans or anyone else. That being said, we're talking about the Mets here. It almost certainly would've blown up in their face if they waited. It also shows the rest of the team they'll be rewarded if they produce, which is a very good thing, in my opinion.
