Some how I missed this. From over a month ago

Sad news for Degrom.

He had surgery and is out until approx August 2024

Another 2 full seasons (this and next) wiped off the board

Rangers got Degrom and now he wins a worlds series..exactly what they paid for


he and Scherzer 20 years from now will be signing autos at the National for the 2023 championship and kids will wonder how the rangers could lose any games that year with 2 stud pitchers like that plus all the other ones..

Regardless if he helped or not he is now has a Championship under his belt and on his resumee.
IT would help if he gets healthy to get enough Games under his belt to have a chance at the HOF but his clock is ticking

I don't think they paid that much for 6 starts. He has basically nothing to do with winning the series.

you are 100% correct. But he gets a ring and he gets credit for being a champion on his resumee. Just like Sherzer did more but still did minimal and he also gets a ring and a championship

and it could help if he stays healthy enough to get enough games to potentially get into the HOF. As discussed in this thread he has a great resume but he has not for long enough and kept getting hurt for the last several years

It would not surprise me if DeGrom finally comes back and is down again within a month. I'd give Trout a little longer but another season ending injury would not surprise me at all. Both seem cursed which is a shame because both are supreme talents.

I agree 100%

Sad when such talent is lost/wasted do to injuries.

deGrom celebrated the 11th year anniversary of his first MLB start last night by pitching 8 shutout innings.

It is the first time he has pitched 8 innings in a game since 2021.

Hoping he stays healthy the rest of the season.

As others have said, it is a beautiful thing to watch when he is healthy.
