According to reported on the 5th,the Mets have not yet made a decision,but they are leaning toward proposing a qualifying offer to Syndergaard and Michael Confort.Syndergaard has a top speed of 160 km/h.He is a well-known fireballer starting pitcher among fans for his high-speed ball.He is nicknamed 'Thor' because of his long golden hair and the way he throws a fastball.

But his recent performance has not been good.He posted a 10-8 ERA of 4.28 in 32 games (197⅔ innings) in 2019 and underwent Tommy John surgery in 2020, with the start of the season postponed due to COVID-19.He originally planned to return in the middle of the 2021 season, but his recovery was delayed as the pain continued to recur during his rehabilitation.

Syndergaard will qualify as free agents this winter.If the Mets don't offer a qualifying offer to Syndergaard,they can give it to another team without any reward.However, considering Syndergaard's injury history and current situation, the qualifying offer $18.4 million a year.

Proposing a qualifying offer to Syndergaard is a complex decision,This is because in general,pitchers who return after suffering an injury can sign a cheaper contract.Two-time Cy Young winner Corey Kluber signed a one-year, $11 million contract with the Yankees this year. Syndergaard underwent surgery in 2020 and returned later this season, but he's not ready to throw a change ball yet.

The Mets can negotiate for a lower contract,said the media,who predicted, However, considering the team situation that requires a starting pitcher and Syndergaard’s intention to stay, proposing a qualifying offer would be a simple solution.

Syndergaard returned to the majors this year and threw a top 96.2 mph. Considering Syndergaard's reputation, this is a rather disappointing figure.Fans are watching with interest whether the Mets will offer a qualifying offer to secure Syndergaard.
