Mets fans saw a trade happen this week that’d definitely make their heads spin if told about it five years ago. The Cleveland Guardians traded Amed Rosario to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Noah Syndergaard.
Syndergaard, a 2016 All-Star and former Mets ace, has fallen on hard times as he continues trying to regain his pre-Tommy John form. After splitting 2022 with the Angels and Phillies, he signed a one-year deal with Los Angeles this past winter.
He hasn’t pitched since June 7th, heading to the injured list after getting lit up by the Reds (which included Elly De La Cruz’s mammoth first career home run).
