BIZARRE: A four step guide for the dodgers to resurrect noah syndergaard | Mind Blowing Facts

The Dodgers are the baseball version of the Wash and Brush Up Co. from the land of Oz. In leading the National League in ERA six straight years, they not only have ridden All-Star starters such as Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler and Julio Urías, but also succeeded in makeover projects with veterans, including Brandon McCarthy, Alex Wood, Rich Hill, Andrew Heaney and Tyler Anderson. Next appointment: Noah Syndergaard.

Syndergaard signed his second straight one-year deal after Tommy John surgery. Before last season he signed with the Angels for $21 million. He was traded just before the deadline and finished the year with the Phillies. His velocity and swing-and-miss stuff still didn’t come back, so it’s back to another prove-it deal, this time at a cut to $13 million (with $1.5 million in incentives). Syndergaard turned down more money for the same reason Anderson did last year: to tap into the Dodgers’ pitching wisdom and for a shot at the postseason.
