Avast ye scurvy dogs! On Wednesday's eve, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cleveland Guardians didst trade seasoned buccaneers! Noah Syndergaard sets sail for Cleveland, whilst Amed Rosario be headin' fer the shores of LA!
In a surprising turn of events, Noah Syndergaard, a once highly regarded pitcher, has been traded for the second time in his career. This time, the Los Angeles Dodgers were the ones making the deal. Syndergaard was sent to the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for shortstop Amed Rosario, who incidentally used to be his former teammate on the New York Mets. It seems like fate has brought these two players back together once again.Rosario was actually part of the trade that brought Francisco Lindor to the Mets, and as for Syndergaard, he left the Mets after the 2021 season to sign with the Los Angeles Angels. However, he was quickly traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, and now finds himself being traded once again. Both the Guardians and the Dodgers are currently in contention for the postseason, so this trade could potentially benefit both teams.
Through 94 games, Rosario has been hitting .265 with three home runs and 40 RBI. On the other hand, Syndergaard has made 12 appearances for the Dodgers, but has struggled with a 7.16 ERA and 38 strikeouts. Nonetheless, Syndergaard was an All-Star in 2016 and had an impressive ERA of 2.60 with 218 strikeouts. Unfortunately, injuries have plagued him over the years.
Rosario was considered a top prospect in the Mets' organization and has proven himself to be a formidable player with the Guardians. It will be interesting to see how this trade plays out for both teams and whether Syndergaard can regain his former glory. Only time will tell if this trade was a swashbuckling success or a sinking ship.
