A New York Mets insider has dismissed the possibility of Jacob deGrom voluntarily returning to the franchise, even if the team fails to acquire Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. The comment casts doubt on a potential reunion with the two-time Cy Young winner, who currently pitches for the Texas Rangers.

The Mets are reportedly exploring options to bolster their rotation, with Skubal emerging as a top target. However, the insider suggested that deGrom would not choose to come back to New York on his own accord.
