News about Jacob deGrom

We've arrived halfway through the 2023 Major League Baseball season, and the old rules haven't been followed. The Cardinals and Padres are a mess, the Marlins and Orioles are raging into the playoffs, and anyone who made a pre-season forecast of the Mets or Yankees is rubbing their eyes in disbelief.

Another fan in the crowd seemed to be attempting to hold the Braves back, but the Braves backer did appear to attempt to swing for the Mets fans. Both the Mets and the Braves retaliated by fighting back and delivered brutal blows to the head, knocking the Braves' supporter over the seats behind him.
