PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. _ Noah Syndergaard isn't happy, and he wants everybody to know it.
After throwing three nondescript innings in a minor-league game as a final tuneup before the regular season, Syndergaard expressed his strong feelings regarding two topics: the Mets' travel itinerary the next few days, which he doesn't like, and Jacob deGrom's lack of a contract extension, which he doesn't understand.
First, the travel. The Mets left their spring training facility Sunday afternoon for a three-hour bus ride across the state to Sarasota, where they are playing Monday against the Orioles in their Grapefruit League finale. Then, Monday night, the team will fly to Syracuse, the home of their new Triple-A affiliate, for a workout Tuesday. That night, they'll fly to Washington, D.C., where they open the season Thursday.
