New York Mets pitchers Noah Syndergaard and Edwin Diaz will be back with the team next year, general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said Thursday.
"Edwin Diaz will be on our team next year. That's our full expectation," Van Wagenen said. "Noah Syndergaard will be on our team next year."
Diaz, the prize in a trade with the Seattle Mariners in December that also brought Robinson Cano back to New York, had a 5.59 ERA, seven blown saves and seven losses for the Mets. He allowed 15 home runs in the ninth inning and was replaced as closer late in the season.
