UNBELIEVABLE: Jacob deGrom Spotted at Citi Field — Comeback in Motion?
“Two-time Cy Young winner sends fanbase into frenzy after surprise visit — is a reunion looming?”
NEW YORK, NY — In a stunning development that has ignited hope across Mets Nation, former ace Jacob deGrom was spotted at Citi Field earlier today, fueling intense speculation about a potential reunion with the team that made him a household name.
DeGrom, who signed a massive five-year deal with the Texas Rangers in 2022, was seen entering the Mets’ clubhouse ahead of their afternoon game, prompting immediate buzz from media, teammates, and fans. Clad in casual streetwear and accompanied by no official team personnel, deGrom kept a low profile — but the sighting didn’t go unnoticed.
The Mets quickly released a short statement:
“Jacob deGrom is visiting friends and former teammates at Citi Field. He remains under contract with the Texas Rangers. No further comment at this time.”
But fans — and insiders — aren’t buying that it was just a social call.
DeGrom, who is currently rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, has reportedly made significant progress and is expected to return to pitching sometime in the second half of the 2025 season. Some sources close to the Mets’ front office hinted that conversations between deGrom’s camp and New York officials have been ongoing — potentially laying the groundwork for a stunning reunion once he’s healthy.
Mets pitcher Kodai Senga, when asked about deGrom’s appearance, smiled and said:
“He looked good. Real good. That’s all I’ll say.”
Meanwhile, fans have flooded social media with speculation and excitement, with hashtags like deGromBackToQueens and MetsReunion trending across the platform formerly known as Twitter. Citi Field erupted in cheers when a clip of deGrom waving to a few security guards aired on the jumbotron during the 7th inning stretch.
DeGrom spent nine seasons with the Mets, capturing two Cy Young Awards, earning four All-Star selections, and delivering some of the most dominant pitching performances in modern baseball history. His departure in 2022 left many fans heartbroken — but hopeful that one day, he might return.
That day, it seems, may be closer than anyone thought.
If this is the beginning of a comeback, one thing is certain: Queens is ready to welcome its king home.
