“Jacob has expressed interest in exploring a long-term partnership that would keep him in a Mets uniform for years to come.

That’s Agent Brodie Van Wagenen talking about his client Jacob deGrom last summer. That was a few months after accusing the owners of collusion and a few months after threatening a lockout. But you newspaper guys can keep writing sunshine articles, it’s fine, I got this.
Today’s story is that JDG would like an extension. I will be curious to see what the General Manager does.
As I imagine the Mets don’t like ultimatums, JDG will go into his walk year. That makes me wonder if we will start seeing the Player Bashing articles that have a habit of showing up in the Daily News, leaked from regime after regime of “Mets insiders.” I look forward to reading about how Jake is a bad guy because he uses a fork with pizza or puts his socks on before his pants or whatever horrible skeletons they leak.
