Noah Syndergaard gave his first press conference as a member of the Angels on Friday, days after signing a one-year deal with the team. Speaking with the media, he shed some light on the decision to leave the Mets, the only major league team for which he's played.
During the virtual press conference, Syndergaard was asked if the Mets being without a manager and general manager at the time of his decision played a factor. He acknowledged that was on his mind as he weighed heading to a new team vs. taking the Mets' $18.
