Jacob deGrom: 30 Starts in 2025 - Wishful Thinking or Realistic Goal?
Rangers ace Jacob deGrom is aiming for a full, 30-start season in 2025. Considering his injury history, this raises some eyebrows. Is this a legitimate target, a sign of renewed health, or just overly optimistic? Could the Rangers employ an aggressive innings management strategy similar to the White Sox with Garrett Crochet, limiting deGrom's workload in each start to keep him fresh throughout the season? What are the potential downsides to this approach?
While deGrom's talent is undeniable, his durability is a major question mark. Is he the best pitcher in baseball when healthy? Where does he rank among current pitchers? How much risk are the Rangers taking by banking on him for a full season?
The Rangers' playoff hopes hinge not only on deGrom's health, but also the recovery of Corey Seager, Josh Jung, and Evan Carter. If these key players can stay healthy, how does that impact the Rangers' chances in the AL West? Can they reclaim their World Series title? What are your bold predictions for the Rangers in 2025? Let's discuss.
