A potential New York Mets reunion with Jacob deGrom appears unlikely according to Mets insider Chelsea Janes. Despite speculation surrounding the Texas Rangers' offseason plans and possible trades, Janes expressed skepticism that deGrom would voluntarily approve a return to New York. The veteran pitcher holds full no-trade protection and previously exercised it to block a proposed deal to Atlanta.

The Rangers face difficult roster decisions after a disappointing season, with deGrom, Corey Seager, and Nathan Eovaldi surfacing in trade rumors.

Any potential trade would require the two-time Cy Young Award winner's consent.
