WAYNE, N.J. — Noah Syndergaard knows that he will be getting the ball in The Bronx for the first time in his career Friday night. His and the Mets’ future beyond that is largely uncertain.
But if it were up to him, the stud right-hander would like to keep the core rotation together past this season to take another run at contending. That plan would include All-Star Jacob deGrom, who said earlier this week he would like to sign an extension with the club, and, if not, his agent said it might be best for the Mets to explore a trade.
