The day that many affiliated with the New York Mets have been waiting for is finally here.
Sure, there is a chance that New York could try to make a big splash today, which is the MLB trade deadline.
But the return of two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom tonight against the Washington Nationals is even more exciting than a big trade acquisition would be, unless said acquisition was perhaps named Juan Soto or Shohei Ohtani.
When we last saw deGrom on the mound in an MLB game, it was July 7, 2021. Now, over a year and numerous setbacks later, he is finally ba ck for the NL East leaders as they kickstart a big month.
