dailyloe.com – Former MLB pitcher Noah Syndergaard spoke about the struggles of the New York Mets and the political climate in New York City during an appearance on OutKick’s ‘Tomi Lahren Is Fearless.’ He believes the problems extend beyond the team’s performance.
Syndergaard addressed the departures of fan favorites Brandon Nimmo and Pete Alonso, indicating these changes reflect broader issues in New York. He described the situation as ironic, noting that both players hold conservative views.
He stated, ‘It’s kind of also ironic. Those two guys are some of the biggest conservatives I’ve played for as well as with, with Jacob deGrom.’ Syndergaard acknowledged the ongoing chaos in New York City.
Despite his criticisms, Syndergaard expressed that the allure of playing in New York remains strong. He commented, ‘If I still played for the Mets or the Yankees, I’d be like, oh, this is freaking awesome.’
Syndergaard believes he could ignore the city’s issues while enjoying the privilege of playing in such a vibrant location. He added, ‘I get to play a kid’s game in one of the greatest cities in the world.’
He referred to Mayor Zohran Mamdani, calling him a ‘lunatic,’ questioning how a 34-year-old with his experience can lead New York City. He remarked, ‘I can’t imagine being a mayor.’
Syndergaard’s comments reflect his deep connection to the Mets, as he played for the team for eight years. His insights shed light on the intersection of sports and politics in a city facing significant challenges.
