The 37-year-old right-hander exercised his full no-trade clause to shut down any deadline speculation about his availability.
Jacob deGrom told the Rangers before the trade deadline that he intends to remain in Texas, per reports addressing speculation that the slumping club had fielded inquiries about the veteran right-hander's availability. DeGrom, 37, holds a full no-trade clause in his contract and used it to end the matter.
DeGrom is 2-1 with a 2.01 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 40 strikeouts over 31.1 innings in six starts this season. His declaration closes the Rangers' window to move him before the deadline and locks him into the rotation for the stretch run.
