Other than deGrom I dont know who else would have brought back any value. Maybe matz since hes having a decent, healthy year and still under control for a little while.
I like degrom. Glad we didnt sell. I think there also comes a point where ownership cant afford to have no attendance next year.
Mets will reportedly get RHP Franklyn Kilome in return.

Nothing about him blows me away, but probably the best return we could have gotten. I'll take it.
Giving up a ton of HRs this season, but I think he has a sub 3 ERA on the road. This could be a very good move.
Also, Cubs are taking on about $5M out of the $14M owed.
