Last year, Max Scherzer inked a three-year, $130 million pact to headline the New York Mets' rotation with deGrom. This offseason, the Mets landed Justin Verlander on a two-year worth identical money annually.
Now that deGrom is with Texas, the former Detroit Tigers teammates will share the spotlight in New York. Scherzer posted a 2.29 ERA and 169 ERA+ last season, while Verlander dominated in his return from Tommy John surgery. He notched a 1.75 ERA and 220 ERA+, winning the AL Cy Young and leading the Houston Astros to a World Series title.
