Syndergaard, currently on the DL, is 5-2 with a 4.02 ERA with 10 starts for Triple-A Las Vegas this season.
Earlier today, Sandy Alderson appeared on Michael Kay's ESPN Radio show and essentially said the following (From MetsBlog.com):
“That’s a perception that a lot of people have and I don’t think it’s a fair one,” Alderson said, in regards to people who suggest ownership somehow limits his ability to improve the team.
According to Alderson, his team’s payroll is $85 million this year, as well as last year.
“Look, our payroll is not the highest in baseball, I get that,” he said. However, he added, “What we expect out of ourselves is less than what we’ve gotten. The payroll is not an excuse. … We sign players for a reason and we have expectations of what they can do and it doesn’t always work out.”
In regards to whether his payroll will go up, he said, “I do believe it will go up if we’re able to generate the kind of revenue that will support that, and that’s why we have to win.”
