“So let me get this straight,” Syndergaard wrote. “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? Yeah, ok. See you in court pal.”

According to the lawsuit, Syndergaard’s attorneys told the landlord, 600 Summer Street LLC, that he “has no intention of taking possession of the subject premises and the landlord is hereby free to rerent it as he sees fit.” The lease ran from March 20 to Nov. 30, according to the suit.

“We strongly dispute the allegations made against our client and intend on defending him vigorously,” David Goldfischer, Syndergaard’s attorney, told the New York Daily News. “Noah is looking forward to his day in court and is currently focused on remaining safe and healthy during these trying times.”

Syndergaard underwent Tommy John surgery in March. He is expected to return sometime during the 2021 season.
