White Sox release former All-Star Noah Syndergaard
August 4 - The Chicago White Sox released veteran right-hander Noah Syndergaard. The 32-year-old is a former All-Star, who rose to prominence during his run with the New York Mets. In 2016, Syndergaard pitched 183 2/3 innings, posting a 2.60 ERA and 218 strikeouts. However, injury struggles persisted, and the right-hander's performance declined. In recent years, he had brief stints with the Los Angeles Angels, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Cleveland Guardians. In 2023, he had a combined 6.50 ERA and 1.387 WHIP in 18 games of major league action. In June, Syndergaard signed a minor league contract with the White Sox. In six minor league outings, he pitched 23 1/3 innings with a 5.40 ERA and 14 strikeouts. He did not appear in a MLB game for the organization. --Field Level Media

Blue Jays release relief pitcher Swanson after he clears waivers
The Toronto Blue Jays released reliever Erik Swanson after the right-hander cleared waivers, the team said Tuesday. Swanson was designated for assignment last week after posting a 15.19 earned-run average over six appearances this season. The 31-year-old native of Fargo, N.D., dealt with nerve and forearm issues in his throwing arm earlier this year and was unable to regain his form once activated. The Blue Jays acquired Swanson and pitching prospect Adam Macko in November 2022 from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for slugger Teoscar Hernandez. Swanson was a reliable high-leverage option for the Blue Jays in '23, but his ERA jumped by over two runs to 5.03 last season. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said last week it was a "tough conversation" to tell Swanson that he'd been designated for assignment. "It kind of happens in the game when things aren't going your way," Schneider said. "And he understands that part of it. "It's still hard to move on from a guy like that that's meant a lot for you the last couple years." Swanson made his big-league debut with the Mariners in 2019. His best season came in 2022 when he posted a 3-2 record with a 1.68 ERA over 57 appearances. Syndergaard joins White Sox on minor league deal Noah Syndergaard will attempt to make a comeback with the Chicago White Sox, who have signed the veteran right-hander to a minor league deal. Syndergaard has reported to the team's spring complex in Glendale, Ariz., the White Sox confirmed Tuesday. The 32-year-old last pitched in the majors in 2023, when he was cut by Cleveland. He went 2-6 with a 6.50 ERA in 18 combined starts for the Guardians and Los Angeles Dodgers that year. He was selected in the first round (38th overall) by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2010 amateur draft. Nicknamed "Thor" for his long blonde hair and six-foot-six frame, Syndergaard debuted for the New York Mets in 2015 and won a World Series start that season. He was a 2016 all-star but injuries have sidetracked his career. Syndergaard is 59-47 with a 3.71 ERA in eight major league seasons.

Former Mets All-Star pitcher Noah Syndergaard attempting MLB comeback with White Sox
The Chicago White Sox have signed Noah Syndergaard to a minor league contract nearly two years after the former All-Star pitcher last pitched in an MLB game.

It's not clear where within the White Sox system Syndergaard will go from there. Advertisement Syndergaard, 32, is an eight-season MLB veteran who made his name with the New York Mets thanks to an imposing fastball and effective curveball that he leveraged with his 6-foot-6 frame. He made his MLB debut with the Mets in 2015 at 22 years old and was a starter as the Mets advanced to the World Series against the Kansas City Royals. He made an All-Star team the following season while posting a career-best 2.60 ERA with 218 strikeouts and 43 walks in 183 2/3 innings. Noah Syndergaard lasted six starts with the Guardians in 2023 before they released him.

Advertisement Syndergaard left New York in free agency ahead of the 2022 season to sign a one-year, $21 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels traded him that season to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Syndergaard ahead of the 2023 season, then traded him to the Cleveland Guardians before the trade deadline. The Guardians released him after six starts. Syndergaard posted a 6.50 ERA with the Dodgers and Guardians in his last MLB season. For his career, Syndergaard has a 3.71 ERA and 1.196 WHIP with 928 strikeouts in 941 1/3 innings pitched. The White Sox are rolling the dice that Syndergaard can regain some of his previous form.
