Jacob deGrom nearly becomes part of a major trade involving Atlanta Braves ace Spencer Strider, but the deal does not go through, according to reports from two outlets.
The accounts describe the scenario as a high-profile deadline blockbuster that nearly happened, placing deGrom and Strider—both prominent starting pitchers—at the center of a potential swap. While details beyond the core premise are not provided in the available excerpts, both sources frame the story as one more example of a transaction that advanced close to completion before failing.
Across the coverage, the emphasis stays on the near-miss nature of the trade rather than on finalized terms, timelines, or specific reasons for the breakdown. With only these excerpts, readers do not get differences in either the proposed structure of the trade or the negotiations’ outcome beyond the shared conclusion that the move ultimately did not occur.
