Jacob deGrom, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, has expressed his desire to stay with the Texas Rangers despite the team’s current struggles. The Rangers are on a five-game losing streak and have fallen behind the Houston Astros in the AL West.
deGrom’s Commitment
deGrom, who has a full no-trade clause in his contract, stated, ‘I want to be here. I believe in this group.’ He also mentioned that he believes the team can win and that he wants to help them compete.
The Rangers made one trade on Monday, sending utility player Josh Smith and minor league right-hander Josh Stephan to Toronto for rookie left-hander Adam Macko. deGrom is 7-7 with a 3.96 ERA in 21 starts this season.
