Noah Syndergaard, a one-time All-Star and former National League Cy Young Award contender, was traded for the second consecutive season – this time it was the Los Angeles Dodgers doing the dealing.

Rosario was eventually a part of the package that sent Francisco Lindor to the Big Apple while Syndergaard left after the 2021 season to sign with the Los Angeles Angels.
Last season, the Angels traded Syndergaard to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Both teams are vying the postseason and likely feel the recent deal bolsters needs. Los Angeles entered the day on top of the American League West, while the Guardians are in second place in the American League Central.
