deGrom, Trout, Rodón, E. Carter, K. Jansen

deGrom is a high-risk, high-reward pitcher... Jacob deGrom (RHP, TEX) returned from Tommy John surgery in 2024, throwing 10 innings in September. He missed over 320 days on the injured list over the past two seasons, and over 100 in three straight. Can deGrom stay healthy for some of 2025? Is he worth the high price?
