Mets lose Noah Syndergaard to Angels (Report)
Andy Marlin-USA TODAY SportsThor is taking more money to head to Anaheim.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan is reporting the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have lured Noah Syndergaard to the opposite side of the country.
Syndergaard, who received a qualifying offer from the Mets, has reportedly agreed to a one-year deal worth $21 million from the Halos.
It was a bit of a surprise that the Mets would extend a QO to Syndergaard, who missed most of the last two years because of Tommy John surgery and then a series of other issues this year. An $18.4 million commitment via the QO is a big price tag for a pitcher with health concerns.
The Mets will receive a compensatory draft pick from the Angels.
