Mets and Blue Jays emerge as potential suitors for pitcher Jacob deGrom
Summary

The New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays are reportedly considering trade interest in Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom this offseason. Facing a second consecutive year without a playoff berth, the Mets are looking to bolster a rotation that features young starters Nolan McLean, Zac Thornton, and Jonah Tong. Despite his age of 38, deGrom holds a 10-9 record with a 3.80 ERA and 186 strikeouts over 28 appearances this season. Any potential deal for the veteran pitcher would require his approval due to the full no-trade clause in his contract. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays remain in contention for a Wild Card spot and may look to pair deGrom with Dylan Cease to strengthen their starting staff for the upcoming season.
