The bullpen could be an issue. And all three of DeGrom, Syndergaard and Harvey are nearing uncharted territory for their careers in terms of innings pitched. But yeah this offense looks like it is for real - they finally have all the pieces necessary to platoon around weak spots (e.g., Grandy against lefties) - and…

I was wondering the exact same thing when I wrote that. I’m curious what level of autonomy these guys have to renegotiate into a team-friendly deal in exchange for a ticket out of town.

Where was this desire to win above all else when he took a six-year deal from a last place team in 2011? And, unless he is willing to restructure his deal so that it would cost an acquiring team a lot less than $56m to acquire him, why should anyone feel bad for him?
