What Aaron Judge Hint Means for Yankees' 'Near Impossible' Pursuit of Ex-Mets Ace
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees were able to end their West Coast road trip with a win against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the series came with some brutal losses. In particular, the Yankees are facing new questions about their starting rotation after promising youngster Will Warren imploded against the Dodgers, giving up seven earned runs in less than two innings. Now, with Luis Gil and Marcus Stroman still uncertain commodities as they look to return from injuries, the Yankees have to consider targeting a significant rotation upgrade at the trade deadline if they hope to match up with the Dodgers in a potential World Series repeat. "It will be near-impossible to fortify the Yankees' rotation with a bonafide ace this summer, but they'll certainly be on the hunt for a high-upside righty to at least approximate the possibility," Adam Weinrib wrote for FanSided.

(Photo by) More Sloter/Getty That coming hunt led Weinrib to suggest the Yankees could answer Warren's struggles by trading for Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom, who is best known as a two-time Cy Young Award winner with the crosstown rival New York Mets. "We all saw that smirk on deGrom's face at Yankee Stadium when the Rangers came to visit and he locked eyes on Aaron Judge," Weinrib added. "He turns 37 years old in mid-June. Do the Rangers believe in absorbing his age-38 and 39 seasons? Shouldn't it be easier for the Yankees to stomach them, now that Soto and his .220 average aren't clogging their books?" After years of injury struggles, deGrom is enjoying a resurgence on the mound in the third season of his $185 million contract with the Rangers. He has a 2.34 ERA and 66 strikeouts across 12 starts so far. But the Rangers have a losing record and sit in third place in the American League West division and, if they opt to sell at the trade deadline, parting with deGrom's remaining salary could be prudent. If the former Mets Cy Young ace does hit the trading block, a move to the Yankees would certainly grab attention in New York.

He is an amazing talent and has become a favourite amongst fans. With the 2025 season quickly approaching, many want to know about his contract and salary. Jacob deGrom's 2025 salary and contract details Jacob deGrom will make $40 million in the 2025 baseball season, says Spotrac. He signed a five-year contract worth $185 million with the Texas Rangers on December 2, 2022. Now in his third year with the team, his average yearly pay is $37 million. The contract includes a rule that stops the Rangers from trading him without his approval. The contract also has extra rewards for good performance. So, deGrom can get $250,000 for winning the award, or $100,000 for All-Star selection. Pitching 160 innings and finishing on top in the 2027 Cy Young voting could qualify for the $37 million option in 2028. These bonuses show he's a top player. Sports Illustrated says his contract is one of the biggest for pitchers in 2025. The Rangers promise to pay the full $185 million, so his money is secure.

His first contract, a $95,000 bonus from the New York Mets in 2010. After that, it was less than small contracts - $500,000 in 2014 and $607,700 in 2016. But he pitched so damn well that it was just a matter of time before another good contract came along. Sure enough, his contract with the Mets in 2019 was for $137.5 million. In 2022, he signed with the Texas Rangers. He earned $30 million in the year 2023, and is due to earn $40 million for 2024. If he stays healthy in 2025, Sports Illustrated says he'd have earned more than $222 million. His four All-Star games and two Cy Young Awards show why teams pay him so much. Even with some injuries, deGrom is still a star. His 2025 salary of $40 million means he earns about $76.10 per minute, based on 525,600 minutes in a year. This huge per-minute earning shows how successful deGrom has become. His hard work has paid off, and fans love watching him pitch. The Rangers believe in him, and his contract keeps him motivated to do well. Sports Illustrated mentions that staying healthy is important for deGrom in 2025, as injuries have slowed him down before. If he keeps pitching well, he could earn even more bonuses. His journey from a Mets rookie to a Rangers star is inspiring, and his big contract proves his talent.
