I don’t know what more that anybody can say about Jacob deGrom. It would be so easy for him to pack it in, go through the motions, and be ordinary down the stretch. But Jacob continues to have pride in what he does and a commitment to excellence. You saw it in Jacob’s first victory since June as the Mets defeated the Reds 8-0<\/a>. It’s that trait that makes it insane to even think about trading him for any “can’t miss prospect package”, because we know there’s no such thing.<\/p>\n
