Jacob deGrom's Elbow Surgery a Costly Investment for Rangers.
TL;DR Summary
The Texas Rangers signed Jacob deGrom to a five-year, $185 million contract despite his history of injuries, and now they have flushed $70 million down the toilet as he undergoes surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament. DeGrom will be sidelined for a minimum of 12 months, and realistically won't be pitching again for the Rangers until 2025. The Rangers don't have an insurance policy on him, and this is just the latest elbow injury to a star performer this season.
