"Either way, this will be deGrom’s second elbow surgery (he underwent Tommy John surgery while he was a prospect with the Mets), and it will trigger a revealing clause in his contract with the Rangers. The contract was set to run through 2027, but the Rangers can add an extra year to the deal if he undergoes Tommy John surgery or any shoulder or elbow surgery that keeps him out for an extended period of time."
"The compensation on the option for the 2028 season is tiered based on how deGrom finishes in Cy Young voting and how many innings he pitches for the Rangers over the life of his contract."
