Nothing about Noah Syndergaard is new for the New York Mets. The righty has always had the potential to be a Cy Young winner. That has been evident ever since he made his MLB debut in 2015 at 22-years-old.
What is new is the circumstances for both sides. It has now been two years since Syndergaard was seen on the mound, as he underwent Tommy John surgery prior to 2020.
