The Angels go biblical, signing Noah Syndergaard to a one-year, $21 million contract:

Syndergaard, 29, spent the first seven seasons of his career with the New York Mets, making one All-Star team and displaying perhaps the nastiest array of pitches for a starter in the major leagues. Having pitched only two innings since 2019 because of Tommy John surgery, Syndergaard will join an Angels rotation that was among the worst in the big leagues last season.

The Angels’ pursuit of starting pitching this winter was their top priority, with two-way star Shohei Ohtani coming off a season that will end with the American League MVP award and outfielder Mike Trout returning from an injury-plagued 2021.

Did someone leak the AL MVP result to ESPN? They seem a little sure of themselves.

I think this is a good deal for the Angels. If Syndergaard simply stays healthy, he will likely be worth the money. If he returns to form, he could make this look like a great deal. As a one year deal, there is only short term down side.
