Mets Owner: Time Not Right To Rework Jacob deGrom's Deal

Jun 22, 2021 9:17 AM

When asked about the possibility of renegotiating Jacob deGrom's contract, New York Mets owner Steve Cohen was candid on Sunday.

"I don't think it's the right moment. We're focused on this year. Obviously, it's something we're thinking about. Listen, we love Jacob. ... I don't think I could pitch to a 0.54 ERA. He's special," Cohen said.

deGrom's deal pays him $35.5 million next season. Then there's an opt out. If he decides to stick with the deal, it would pay him $32.5 million in 2023 and then there's a club option for $32.5 million in 2024.
