LAS VEGAS -- It seems that anyone who has been within 100 miles of the Mets has heard the one about Jacob deGrom wanting to play for the Atlanta Braves. DeGrom himself has never said this in public, but there sure are people in his orbit who believe it to be true.
But that’s not what we’re here today to tell you. You’ve surely already heard that speculation. We’re here to relate what Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos said about his team’s willingness to add a high-end free agent starting pitcher.
