Mets star pitcher Noah Syndergaard is in the middle of a legal battle with his New York City landlord.
On Thursday, Syndergaard's New York state landlord sued the pitcher $250,000 for breach of contract and fees. The 2016 NL All-Star is accused of skipping $27,000 in rent for his Tribeca penthouse after the MLB season was put on hiatus and following Syndergaard's recent Tommy John surgery.
Syndergaard responded Saturday night on social media.
"So let me get this straight," Syndergaard wrote on Twitter. "I fairly, and in good faith offered to pay 2 months rent (over 50K) to a landlord for a place I was never going to step foot in due to a global pandemic that took a severe toll upon the residents of NYC, gave timely notice to attempt to try and re-rent, while getting TJ and now living in Florida for rehab, and the landlord tries to extort me for 250K while leaking this story to the media, and I'm the bad guy?
