Per reports, there’s tension between Syndergaard and Mets leadership
According to recent reports, there’s tension between Noah Syndergaard and New York Mets leadership. Here’s everything that we know.
The New York Mets have been floating Noah Syndergaard‘s name in trade rumors for quite some time now. First, Syndergaard was the subject of trade rumors prior to the 2019 MLB season and now he’s right back in there all over again.
It’s clear that, as a human being, it must really suck to feel unwanted by the organization that brought you up and helped to catapult you to star status. It especially must suck when that same organization completes a trade to bring in another pitcher from another organization in an effort to essentially replace you.

Over the last few days, Syndergaard has made it known – in his own way – that he’s not happy with the way the Mets organization has treated him. A recent tweet by ESPN’s Buster Olney stating that “the tension in the relationship between Syndergaard and the Mets leadership…” has confirmed that fact as well.
It’s unclear what exactly the rift is between “Thor” and the Amazin’s.
A part of a trio of pitchers that helped the organization reach their first World Series since 2001 in 2015, Noah Syndergaard has been one of the shining lights of the organization. In fact, since 2015 Syndergaard has been the 12th best pitcher in MLB according to FanGraphs.
Also, since 2015 Syndergaard has the 7th best FIP (2.86) in the game, which is just 0.01 points more than teammate and 2018 NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom in the same time span. He’s got the stuff, the personality – at least on social media – and the years of club control to make a team want to keep him for the long haul.

Unfortunately, he plays for an organization that can’t seem to get anything right. Perhaps dealing “Thor” would be a blessing in disguise for the pitcher.
