- What’s new in MLB free agency: Noah Syndergaard got a one-year, $21 million deal from the Angels. Syndergaard made just two abbreviated starts for the Mets at the end of 2021 after missing the previous season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. Players like Syndergaard who received qualifying offers from their former teams have until today to decide whether to accept it.
