Noah Syndergaard wants to stay with the Mets.
Multiple teams have reportedly inquired about a potential deal for the 26-year-old starter and New York will consider moving him for the right price. Syndergaard, who has spent his entire five-year career with the Mets, addressed the trade rumors while speaking with reporters this weekend.
"I'm trying not to pay too much attention to that," Syndergaard said, via MLB.com. "As of right now, I love being a Met. If something were to ever change, it would definitely be bittersweet just because New York City itself, the fanbase and just the guys in this clubhouse have a special place in my heart."
Syndergaard has regressed in 2019 as he holds a 7-4 record with a 4.55 ERA in 18 appearances. But, his best start of the season may have come Saturday when he scattered five hits and two runs over seven innings against the Marlins.
"I feel like (Saturday) just overall mechanically, it was the most comfortable I've felt on the mound in a long time," Syndergaard said. "So, I just want to be able to take that into my next start."

Syndergaard was an All-Star as a 23-year-old in 2016 and the Mets want “multiple top prospects” in exchange for him, according to an earlier report from SNY.
The Padres are interested in Syndergaard while the Brewers are “monitoring” his availability, according to MLB.com. “Some within the Astros organization are intrigued” by him, as well, that report says.
The Mets finished play Sunday with a 42-51 record. They’re six games behind the Phillies and Brewers for the second wild-card spot and trail the Braves by 14 games in the National League East.
