Padres Showing Interest In Free Agent Noah Syndergaard
9 months agoFree-agent starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard is garnering interest from the San Diego Padres, according to beat writer Kevin Acee. The Padres don't have much clarity or depth in their starting rotation behind incumbents Joe Musgrove and Yu Darvish, who are both coming off injuries, so targeting someone like Syndergaard makes sense. San Diego has also been linked to free-agent Michael Lorenzen earlier this offseason. Syndergaard threw a bullpen session for interested teams back in January but hasn't received a ton of interest following that. Thor is coming off a disastrous 2023 campaign in which he registered a 6.50 ERA, 1.387 WHIP, and 56:19 K/BB over 88 2/3 innings between the Dodgers and the Guardians. San Diego could serve as a nice bounce-back spot for the veteran right-hander.
