Noah Syndergaard has tested positive for COVID-19, per several reporters, including Tim Healey of Newsday Sports. The righty was scheduled to make a rehab appearance today as he continues his arduous journey back to the big leagues, which he hasn’t seen in almost two years. Instead, it will be yet another setback in a year full of them for Syndergaard.
Since undergoing Tommy John surgery in March of 2020, it’s been nothing but stops and starts for Thor in 2021. He initially started a rehab stint in May but was shut down after just two starts due to elbow inflammation. He then began a second rehab stint on Thursday, throwing just one inning, with the aim of returning as a reliever since there’s no longer enough time in the season to get properly stretched out as a starter. Now he will have to put everything on pause again due to this positive test.
This is yet another disappointment in a month full of them for the Mets. After leading the NL East for much of the season, they’ve gone 7-19 in August and now find themselves 7 1/2 games behind the Braves, with the Phillies in between them. They were already facing a difficult decision with Syndergaard, given that he’s approaching free agency and is a candidate for a qualifying offer. If healthy, he is a potential top-of-rotation starter and certainly worth the money. But the club will have to judge his health based on whatever small sample of work he can produce in the dwindling number of remaining games. With yet another setback, the sample they will use to make that decision has now gotten even smaller.
Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Lol guy cant catch a break.
Can’t catch breaks.
Breaks when pitches.
He can’t catch any breaks
Breaks every time he throws a pitch

He’ll be fine just like every other athlete who gets it
Luckily they have youth on their side
There is a overall 0.175 chance of dying.
That fact got lost in the hysteria a long time ago.
damhikt
that number is considerably higher in some of the population.
For a healthy person, they are a lot lower than that. Plus the stats are inflated. My 91 year old uncle caught Covid, went to the hospital, was released, went home and died two weeks later. He had cancer and it was logged as a Covid death.
This a horrible, deadly, virus, and it’s bad. But those numbers are inflated, I don’t know what they are, and we don’t know how bad it really is.
For every person like your uncle, there’s some who died at home from covid without ever been diagnosed. You are correct that we won’t know the actual numbers, but they’re not inflated, if anything they’re underreported.
Trump says you should get vaccinated.
So what? I don’t care.
Yes, he’ll probably be fine, but that’s not the whole point.
Hope his parents and grandparents are fine, too, and those of all his contacts. Also, more and more younger people are needing to be seriously hospitalized and are even dying, icymi.
DC, you are correct, it’s not the entire point.
I’m vaccinated, I wear N95 masks, I limit my contacts. We can all do little things to help. But this isn’t as bad as they make it sound and death tolls are exaggerated.
That said, this can still mutate again into something more deadly. We should all do everything we can to prevent the spread and stop this from becoming even more deadly.
Okay, the last seven day death ratio is 2 per 100,000. Which is 0.002.
What if it mutates again? My step father was in WWII, my dad was in Korea. Yet this generation won’t even get vaccinated to make the world and country a safer place.
We’ve gone from the greatest generation to the wimpiest generation.
What? For a virus with a overall 0.175% chance of death? This isn’t about health, but control.
Vaccinations have always been about control. Disease control. I’m sure you’ve had Vaccinations before, schools already require other vaccines. This one is no different. Just get the shot and stop being a wuss.
For very deadly diseases and vaccines which have had decades of development. You think getting the shot this is all going to go away? It’s not it’s authoritarian governments on a power trip. If it was really about health then they would be advocating for people to eat healthy and exercise. Diabetes and obesity are the biggest factors besides age on the survival rate.
Even at those percentages, if millions get the illness, thousands will die
YoungTank is the reason this virus isn’t going away. Refusal to accept the reality of the situation.
Thank you SoCal.
Halo, this is what happens when a disease becomes politicized by a party that only cares about power. Getting vaccinated is more of an IQ test at this point.
Ummm, youngTank,… they DO advocate for folks to eat healthy and…. eh, what’s the use?
Who are the people advocating for vaccine mandates? So what you want to put people in prison for not getting the vaccine?
No one with connected brain cells measured the death rate per the total number of the population. So no the death rate is not .002. The total number of confirmed cases is short of 40 million. The number of deaths is over 650,000. So we’ll over 1.5%.
And, that does not take into consideration the number of persons who have, and will suffer, permanent, and in many cases, debilitating injuries/conditions.
And doctors do stress weight loss and healthy lifestyles. Look 45 is ob3se. Doesn’t exercise. You don’t think he knows better?
It can be when there is so many people who are asymptotic. Who knows how many more cases there would be if people were constantly tested. And the death rate the last week is 0.002.
2000 Floridians a week will die this month and this is your response. just disgusting.
flhealthcharts.com/charts/QuickFacts.aspx
People die from all causes and mostly they’re over 65 feel free to go through the data
The virus isn’t just causing deaths, it is causing horrific permanent injuries and conditions. Feel free to go through the literature.
This is a communicable disease which has a readily available immunization. Feel free to go through the literature.
Just become someone is over 65 doesn’t mean they become “undesirables” and their preventable deaths are not a tragedy. I thought be fought against that ideology in WW2. Feel free to pick up a history book a read it.
The Mets need to move to Mars where they might not be cursed.
Season is long over anyway for the Mets so what difference does it make?
It makes a difference for Syndergaard, as he can’t showcase himself for his impending free agency.
He can’t?
He’s not showcasing himself in one or two abbreviated starts. Especially seeing as he can’t use his slider. If he stumbles at first he hurts his value. It doesn’t matter in terms of next year at all for him.
They have to evaluate him, although I will say that, even in the Spring he was throwing over 90 mph, so velocity will not be an issue. As for the Mets, if they didn’t have bad luck, they would have no luck.
Superstition is the religion of the feeble minded — Socrates
C’mon now, if you really think the Mets have any kind of shot at the playoffs this year, then I don’t think getrealgone2 is the feeble minded one – Pete LaCock
Are you being facetious by arguing against the obvious fact that the comment was regarding being “cursed,” and not playoff chances?
I’m guessing so, as Socrates is a tad more well known than Pete.
Well, considering the fact that being cursed is EXPLICITLY tied to not making the playoffs, I guess I’m confused by your confusion. Like, a team being cursed is usually ALL about not making the playoffs, if not that then always losing in the playoffs and never reaching the WS. What team has ever been called cursed that consistently makes the playoffs, or doesnt have long championship droughts? Gotta love when people try to cry stupid when there understanding of the matter is at best slightly off.
You obviously believe in curses and are therefore superstitious. Take it from there.
Most people that say you re cursed, do not mean it literally. And those that obsess over it might have some issues of their own.
“Thoughts and prayers” falls under the category of superstition, but I think Fever Pitch Guy is a troll with some odd form of OCD. So, thoughts and prayers for a speedy OCD cure, I guess.
I will take prayers any day of the week,24/7! Thank you!
Nah I think he means it
He does. I asked him straight out. Since then I always add my +1. Because, like @SUPERFAN, I too will take any & all prayers.
MetsFan22…. thoughts on this?
He went to Mars already
@getrealgone2
Actually, @MetsFan22 is mentally on Mars, but he’s physically been around. We actually have to commend the little dimwit for actually not bailing out on his team this year like he did last year for a little bit, and how a few other Mets fans have done this year like @WhyNot and @Dan Hunter and some other fly-by-night fair-weather Mets fans that we never saw until the Mets were winning this year, but have disappeared before we could remember their names.
MetsFan22 is in the ICU because the Mets are killing him!
MetsFan22 , Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.. There is hope for 2022
Is there?
Hope for all (we need it). tstats, The OF’s AA assimilated, (Rosario contributing today) who do you think they’ll keep & why? Inquiring minds want to know.
Of they are smart they’ll hang onto Duvall this time around. Letting him go to Miami for peanuts was a boneheaded move.
Thor can’t win for losing. Poor guy.
Poor guy? He chose not to get vaccinated. People not vaccinated are 29 times more likely to get Covid.
How could you know that? Most places aren’t even tracking breakthrough cases.
LA county is, they say 1 out of 4 positives is a breakthrough case.
Except that Noah HAS been vaccinated.
Ahhhh…you couldn’t let him look foolish for a little longer? Buzzkill!
LOL, you’re right.
Pretty much a perfect picture of our world right now. Blame everything on the unvaccinated, ask questions later.
FFS, its a vaccine not an immunization. educate yourself, everytime theres a covid post some idiot makes a post like this. just as misinformed as the ones you are being critical of.
It’s a shot.
Jopeness. The vaccine is an inoculation by which the body is stimulated to produce an immune response (immunization, There is very little difference between calling it a vaccine (the “shot”) or stimulation of the body, via the contents of the vaccine, to protect against an infection (immunization).
Yes please do educate yourself and please do not spread disinformation.
The chance of dying are 0.175%.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance
Actually, he is vaccinated. At least get ur facts right
Yep there goes the season
I don’t think Syndergaard is a make or break for any team.
I meant for him
Oh, okay. I’ve seen so many excuses with this fan base and team, I got mixed up. lol
Trust me not a Mets fan, not gonna vouch for them
Syndergaard is awesome when he plays. Had an off season in ‘19 but that might have had to do with injury. Don’t sell him short. I get it, a lot of Met fans pegged him as literally the best pitcher in baseball. (Every GM knows he has the best stuff in all of MLB- is one sentiment I’ve seen bandied about without the slightest sense of hyperbole, or evidence for that matter). I get it. I get the pushback against absurd exaggeration. But he’s a great pitcher when healthy.
His career has not shown any sustained great performance.
Also, his stuff that he’s shown is not the best. Maybe at the time when he first came up, but quite a few of the younger pitchers that have come up have better stuff. Just look in the NL East alone.
Syndergaard is all NY hype.
He’s not all hype. He’s a very good pitcher. A number two with definite ace potential. No, he’s not nearly as good as the NY hype makes him out to be, but he’s not ALL hype.
He’s a talent, but the window for fulfilling potential is closing fast. His good pitching has never sustained itself to where any team fears him as a frontline pitcher. At the most, he’s been just another #2 that teams don’t fear, and your own team worries which Syndergaard shows up. We’ve seen many guys like that in MLB history. If he wasn’t in NY, he’d be looked on just like all of those other ones in the past.
His career arc reminds me a bit of Wheeler’s. He’s still quite young. I’d bet on him.
Okay, I’ll play devil’s advocate. Say he puts things together, where is the impact, if the same thing happens with the pitchers in the division who are more talented than him? How about the ones that have the same stuff, but are more refined and developed at younger ages?
lmao excuses? Aren’t you the same guy who was using excuses about your bullpen for why the Marlins have been terrible? Essentially, ‘if we were better, we’d be better’? And the same guy who was talking trash all offseason but once the Marlins stumbled, switched your tune to ‘every game they win is just gravy’, in year like 17 of their rebuild?
I understand why you’re obsessed with the Mets considering the Marlins have been unwatchable for almost two decades, but give the hating a rest for once, please. You’re a fan of one of the most embarrassing franchises in sports and yet all you do is trash the Mets.
Syndergaard has as good pedigree as anyone. If other teams have young guys who also put it together, mazel tov. Doesn’t diminish Thor’s value.
First positive post I’ve seen from you in weeks
Clearly you’re a Mets fan
@Cosmo2 I said the same exact thing about Wheeler and Syndergaard when the Phillies signed Wheeler. The usual suspects laughed at it and called Wheelee a glorified number 3 at best. Their comments did not age well. Wheeler has evolved into an ace, as I said he would. Completely agree that Thor is a number 2 with ace potential.
To Cosmos:The ben Sheets of the Brewers! I wish him well!
I was one of those who were skeptical when the Phillies gave that huge contract to someone I saw as a #3. Boy was I wrong.
Whoever gets Thor will be very happy, I think. He just ran out of time this year, but with a normal off-season, he’s going to come back strong.
He is not “quite young”. He is 29 with a long injury history (30 innings in 2017 and zero games in 2020 and none so far this year).
Who knows if he will totally recover from his TJ surgery. While most do, man do not.
Even if he is able to come back, there is no way to know if he will be an effective hurler. Particularly, with the ban on foreign substances.
Even if he comes back, with him being a “middle aged” pitcher (in baseball terms), and with his history of injuries, a legitimate concern is when, not if, he will break down once again. For the Mets it would likely be a 19 million gamble if he returns in 2022.
A good pitcher, never a great pitcher, when healthy. Unreliable. A number 3 (due to unreliability and injury history).
He had a 5 WAR season when healthy. That’s pretty great.
Cosmo greatness is not measured over just one or two seasons. It is over a career. Someone who is 29 , has missed three seasons, and, only pitched more than 200 innings one time, is good. Not great.
And a 5 WAR is very good not great. He is not, as you claimed above, in various posts “great” when he pitches, nor “quite young” (your words). If you keep changing the goalposts you undoubtedly will be accurate at some time.
Very good. Unreliable. Major injury history. Not young.
What a great Birthday he must be having. Get well soon Thor!
If I were him I wouldn’t throw another pitch for that organization. Luckily now he might not have to if he can milk this through mid September.
What does any of this have to do with the organization?
Would you risk injury and your financial future for an organization that has zero chances at making the playoffs? I would rather keep in shape in my own controlled environment and showcase for clubs in the offseason than put myself at potential hazard in meaningless minor or even major games. Just my take.
Oh yea, I get that. The term “organization” threw me. But he has little to gain by pushing himself at this point, I agree.
@at Dockellis. Just remember though, keepin shape in own controlled work environment is what started this catastrophe in the first place. His own private work outs and weight lifting lead to the shoulder injuries which, in turn, probably lead to more sliders and the injury which required TJS. He cost himself 2 years with his own workouts.
Excellent point. Idk, you’d hope he’s learned to revise his routine to focus more on endurance than strength, but he could very well be like Stanton and stubbornly keep trying to bench and deadlift as much as he can. I just think it would be tragically typical if he suffered a major injury pitching in a meaningless September game trying to hit triple digits or snapping his ACL trying to cover first.
Having watched Syndergaard since he arrived, I’m telling you there is something missing in his mental preparation or approach. I’ve seen enough interviews with him, watched his interactions and seen him make guest appearances on sitcoms to know not all his t’s get crossed or i’s get dotted just right. And I’m not trying to come off as insulting him or judging him, but rather wonder if there isn’t some aspect of autism or Aspbergers Syndrome that affects his decision making.
Obviously, the talent is incredible, but what about the development or adaptation to his additional years and changing (aging) body? He’s never been one that seems to put in the work to better himself (holding runners on, developing a change up, having a plan on his own for specific hitters, etc) and has gone as far as blaming his catcher (Ramos) for his failures.
I coached a player with Aspbergers Syndrome for about 8 years who dominated her sport at every level. Let me tell you, there was zero getting her to think outside her level of comfort or altering what SHE wanted to do, WHEN she wanted to do it. I truly do believe it’s time to move on from Syndergaard before locking in to a long term future with him as his physical skills diminish. I say this because I believe he will be incapable and unwilling to adapt as he ages.
He’s a bit thick-headed and immature at times but I wouldn’t let that stop me from going with him long term. Unless that stubbornness is incurable, which only folks interacting with him personally would know.
It either helps or hurts his FA status. Fewer starts down the stretch to showcase his stuff. Too many might be bad. Who knows…
If this hadn’t happened the Mets would have the best record in baseball…….
It’s a shame that we had such bad luck.. this year. And the Braves got lucky. But I’m expecting the whole Braves team to get hurt next year so it should even out.
You need to change your name to CluelessMetsFan22.
Sick burn brah
Yeah, the Braves would have been horrible if they lost some of their starting pitchers and if they lost guys like Ronald Acuna and Marcel Ozuna.
Oh wait….
No luck, the Mets are just poorly constructed.
I’ve said this all along…especially about their lineup.
And with the local push to spend spend spend, they’re likely to only become more poorly constructed.
Nope. I read someplace that they don’t suck. They’re just unlucky.
Someone can’t be this stupid.
@posty
I see you aren’t familiar with @MetsFan22’s work.
He is and has repeatedly shown he is
@MarlinsFanBase: I am familiar with it, I just can’t imagine that they are stupid enough to continue the same thing over and over and over…. Needs new material…
Sometimes I wonder if it’s not meant to be “schtick”
@Cosmo:
It’d be funny if he’s really one of the MLBTR guys posting stuff to get more responses.
Heh, yea
The whole Braves team getting injured…As opposed to this year?
Don’t they have like 20 something debilating injuries? I mean my team is the White Sox, and even I have to be in awe of how many players have had to be placed on the IL
The Mutz have lost a combined 12 WAR from players in the IL, the Braves 8.5 WAR so far. That doesn’t make up the 7.5 games they’re behind now.
*projected* WAR
Which is like one of my sales guys & his constant “almost signed a big deal” stuff.
Neither are real.
This is what I would’ve done if I hadn’t not done the things I didn’t do.
Crazy. Shouldn’t really impact his free agency though. Nothing he did or didn’t do in the time lest this season was gonna really move the needle there. He’s probably offered and accepts the QO; it becomes a kind of pillow contract. If I were him and the Mets I’d try and work out some kind of two year deal. He probably won’t be himself next year anyway; year two he can rebuild his value.
Hopefully, Steve Cohen can get Thor a bunch of that horse dewormer.
Big off-season coming for the Mets. Who do the Mets keep Conforto, Baez, Thor, Stroman etc.
Gotta get that pitching
I say Cohen should pay them all. I’d love for them to pay even more for the same roster.
They’ll QO Thor, which is the smart move, and they’ll mistakenly keep Baez as he’s Lindor’s best friend. It’s a dumb reason, but it’s why they traded for him hoping that would ignite Lindor.
Conforto and Stroman leave.
As far as Lindor is concerned, he’s bound to bounce back. The dude is too good of a ball player and certainly not the first or last to have a down year. Guess we will see next season.
@IronBallsMcGinty
I wouldn’t be too quick to guarantee anything from Lindor. There is one thing a lot of people are not looking at with his struggles this year versus his career.
In the AL Central, for the bulk of his career, the best pitchers in the division were on his own team, while the other teams had various levels of struggling for the most part. In the NL East, the majority of the best pitchers are not on his team as all of his division rivals have good pitchers. It’s not as easy for him playing in the NL East as it was in the AL Central.
Lindor is not the first player to change leagues and struggle learning the new pitchers his first year, and he will not be the last. I expect him to rebound.
He should be better than this but his numbers have declined for three years in a row now, tough to argue against that.
I expect him to rebound.
==========================
Me too. Some of this might just be numbers. His BABIP is ~50 points below his career, and his HR/FB is a good bit below as well. And his OPS over his last 50 games is .804, which is probably about right considering the switch from Progressive to Citifield.
Stroman on a sexy deal Thor QO, let the rest walk
Big no on Baez and his sub .300 OPS. Yes to Stro. The rest? ???? My fear is a 280 million dollar payroll and a second place team.
Your fear can be bigger than that. From what is seen this season and how things are trending with rosters in the division, that $280 million could have a very good chance of being a 4th place team next year. They’re very likely finishing in third this year.
Very possible. Fans are calling for a 300 million dollar payroll. I guess utter laughingstock of historical proportions should really be my biggest fear.
The marlins aren’t going to be anything. Don’t worry.
Thank you! I love your predictions!
They need a mini-housecleaning. I know some of it is injuries, but it feels like they have a team of moving parts. Conforto has to go, if only because Nimmo should be the FT RF, so they can finally get a real CF. And you might not need 3 lefty outfielders.
And is Almora still with the team? And as a follow-up question, why? Has he always been a poor backup to Pillar, who himself was a #4 OF?
Marlins – 19 year old franchise. 2 WS championships
Mets – 60 years. 2 WS championships.
They’ve already “been” something
@mlbnyyfan
I think the Mets should resign Stroman, Loup, Pillar and Villar. Let everyone else walk.
Mets need to sign healthy arms, get their pitching depth ready in the minors, and then look hard and long at their hitters going forward.
McNeil – real deal or flash?
Smith – was 2020 a fluke against mediocre pitching for 60 games?
Davis – Is he an every day player?
Lindor – production has tailed off for two+ seasons now.
Conforto – the potential has been there in flashes all along. When does he put it together for good?
Nimmo – when he’s on the field he is a table setter. Is he ever going to play enough to make a difference?
Or was the firing of Chili Davis one of the worst moves in recent history? Honestly, every single hitter he mentored has been in a tailspin while adhering to ‘the binder’ and relying on data and saber metrics. Pete has been the only hitter capable of beating shifts.
Off season moves:
1 get rid of Rojas
2 bring back Chili. Keep the other two around if you want, but Davis had the players producing.
3 banish the current training staff and get restraining orders to keep them away from our players
4 sign enough pitching to make Stroman our #3 again. I think Walker has just run out of gas and hopefully he rebounds next year for 30 healthy starts as our 4. Megill looks like a solid #5 IF he avoids TJS.
…I think deGrom being hurt is going to be more common than not simply due to age, mph and sliders.
Bottom line, we need three more Stromans and some kind of new hitting philosophy against starting pitching and with men on base.
Wheeler missed 2 full years after his surgery so this isn’t incredibly shocking. Well, the COVID part is not what I expected, but whatever.
Meanwhile every player on the Mets tested negative for a chance to play in the 2021 postseason.
Well played, CravenMoorehead, well played…
MVP, most valuable post, for the year.
Might seem like more and more bad news, but Syndergaard or not, Mets aren’t going anywhere this year. Let’s hope for a speedy recovery and a fresh start for him in 2022. No sense rushing him now.
Syndergaard wouldn’t help them hit, anyway.
I miss seeing him pitch, I hope he comes back soon.
4.0 games up in first place when August 1st started, 7.0 games out of first by August 25th.
Heck of a month, NYM.
Even the Padres are impressed
What a nightmare season for Noah
What a nightmare season for @metsfan22!
Is he not vaccinated? How are these players, who travel around the country on a regular basis, not getting themselves protected?
With a minimum 10 day IL stay required with about 30 games left, he has once again handcuffed his team when they could really use him.
He has been useless to the Mets since his goal was to be the hardest thrower in baseball instead of making his goal 32 starts. I truly do hope they move on from him and let some other team guarantee him 4 years/80 million.
Also insists on lifting weights like a bodybuilder despite the team warning him against it.
He’s vaccinated.
He got the shot. Much like the influenza has a shot that isn’t guaranteed, so does this strain of flu.
Thank you both for clarifying that he had been vaccinated. I’ll rescind that aspect of my post. But I’ll still stand behind the rest of it. I also wonder if maybe, just maybe there are other factors involved.
Just how stupid was it for Syndergaard to announce that he wouldn’t be throwing any sliders? Hello, McFly, maybe keep other teams from knowing that? Maybe was also reluctant to pitch out of the bullpen? I’m sure I’m his mind, he is a starter only. His coming back and pitching out of the ‘pen had zero benefit to HIM and only additional risk of injury or setting back his recovery. All these factors would result in a smaller contract next year.
He will refuse the Mets QO, take the off season to work out and prolong his recovery, then hold showcases in the spring before his agent locks him into a 5 year deal. As a Mets fan, I hope we pass.
I’m pretty sure it was the team that announced the sliders thing. I think he’ll accept the QO as a pillow contract.
Braves and Phils are rooting for Thor to regain his form…when he led the majors in runs allowed two years ago!
At least professional athletes don’t seem to at risk of death. At least it seems that way.
Bad week for radio hosts though. 🙁
It is that way. 0.175 percent chance.
I’m Javier Baez and Mets fans hurt my feelings even though I have terrible at bats and my team sucks boo hoo
Lol come on man. It’s just a cold, 99.7% can survive this one. Just put some dirt on it and play ball.
The severity of this “covid” is overblown and it’s hilariously sad that people are this scared of something they can survive and they actually thought by getting vaccinated, they will not get the coof ever again. Oh wait, they still can, b-but their chances of surviving the coof is better than the unvaxxed.
This is truly a clown world we live in and we’re getting the entertainment from the vaccinated Covidiots lol.
Thanks for the endless laughter! And with that, HONK HONK!!!
Grab a juice box and hit the shade for a few, you’ll get em next time tiger!
LOL! I’m a do-as-I-please kind of guy who virtually never considers health risks. But there is no reason to not get the shot. I’m also a RW-C, and I think these governors ranting against the vaccine are complete idiots. The Biden admin is inept that we have a wide-open election in 2022, ripe for an overwhelmingly RW victory.
But these guys have to shut up about Covid. No one in the middle agrees with them.
That said, I am curious, and non-judgemental about why you wouldn’t get the shot?
@LookHere, lots of dead people would disagree with you…If they could.
People die it’s a fact of life but for the vast majority of people they won’t. It is a 0.175 chance of death. How we have responded to COVID is unheard of for any other disease many of which are far deadlier.
No more like a 1.5% chance of death and that does not include many who have/will suffer permanent injuries or medical conditions.
Well, my aunt just passed away this last weekend after contracting COVID, so it’s not “just a cold” to me.
Feel like a one year deal back with the Mets makes sense. If the QO is still a thing, he definitely receives and accepts it.
Man… Any of you old guys out there remember the character from the L’il Abner comic strip named Joe Btfsplk? Gotta wonder if he was re-incarnated into Syndergaard…
I was thinking Shleprock…
I came for the comedy and I am not let down! A thread about a guy who may get to pitch about 10-20 innings turned into the Marlins Fan again boasting about Mets misfortune because his team is awful and in last place AGAIN. They NEVER won a division title in their existence and until they spend money on actual position talent, they will never do so. They are the best argument for contraction I have ever seen! Loser franchise. Oh, wait, there is also the two idiots claiming not getting vaccinated is being a “wuss”? You are a sheep if you trust a vaccine that is proven to be ineffective!!!! Every athlete that has tested positive has been vaccinated!!! Why get an experimental vaccine that does not work? Oh my god, this site is plagued with idiots.
Another county heard from
So Bryan is PMSing…thanks for making that clear, guy.
bryan, that is, making it clear, not Cosmo.
Maybe you haven’t been paying attention. Marlins are on the rise. Two years from now they’ll be a contender.
Noah might not want to take a one year contract. He should hold out for lesser upfront and multiyears. Say 4 years at $60m. He might get that.
