Jacob deGrom will become the second highest paid pitcher in the Majors

Jacob deGrom achieved what he was hoping for, after betting on free agency, after a respectable season with the New York Mets despite the fact that he began the recent season on the injured list with the Queens.

Now, the Texas Rangers have bet firmly on his arm and have given him a five-year deal in exchange for $40 millions of dollars. In addition to this, the right-hander and two-time Cy Young Award winner will become the second highest-paid pitcher in the Majors later this season.

In the first instance, deGrom will receive $30 million dollars in the campaign 2024, while in the 2022-2026 you will receive $40 millions of dollars and by then, he can only be surpassed by his former partner, Max Scherzer who receives a salary of $ 43 millions of dollars.
