RETURN OF A LEGEND: Jacob deGrom Hints at Mets Comeback in Cryptic Social Post — Mets Fans Erupt as Former Ace Drops Major Clue
NEW YORK, NY — Mets Nation was sent into a frenzy this morning after Jacob deGrom — the former ace and two-time Cy Young Award winner — posted a cryptic message on his social media that has fans buzzing about a potential return to Queens.
The post, shared to his official Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) accounts, featured a black-and-white photo of deGrom on the mound at Citi Field, simply captioned: “Unfinished business.” No tags. No further explanation. Just those two loaded words — enough to send speculation into overdrive.
The Mets faithful, who still revere deGrom as one of the most dominant pitchers in franchise history, erupted almost instantly. The post garnered hundreds of thousands of likes and retweets within hours, with fans, players, and even team personnel chiming in with hopeful emojis and wide-eyed reactions.
deGrom, 36, has been rehabbing from Tommy John surgery after signing a five-year deal with the Texas Rangers in 2023. While his stint in Arlington showed flashes of brilliance, his time on the mound has been limited by injuries. Still, when healthy, deGrom remains one of the most feared arms in all of baseball.
Now, with the Mets sitting on the edge of playoff contention in 2025 and in need of a serious pitching upgrade, deGrom’s post has reignited dreams of a storybook reunion.
“It gave me chills,” said Mets fan @MetsDieHard27 on X. “deGrom belongs in Queens. If there’s any chance he’s coming back, it changes everything.”
While no official statement has come from the Mets front office or deGrom’s representatives, sources close to the team say that there have been internal conversations about a possible trade or late-season signing should deGrom’s health check out.
If a return is truly in the works, it could mean a seismic boost for both morale and performance in Flushing. A healthy deGrom anchoring the rotation once again — possibly alongside Kodai Senga or Christian Scott — would instantly transform the Mets into a more dangerous postseason threat.
One thing is clear: “Unfinished business” might be more than just a phrase. For Mets fans, it could mark the beginning of a legendary comeback.
