A LEGEND LOST

Hall of Fame college basketball coach Eddie Sutton dies at 84 Noah to landlord: ‘See you in court, pal’

Noah Syndergaard is throwing some lightning.

On Saturday, the Mets righty wrote he planned to meet a former landlord, 600 Summer Street LLC, in court. The landlord on Thursday filed a lawsuit accusing Syndergaard of skipping a $27,000 payment on a Tribeca penthouse.

“So let me get this straight,” Syndergaard wrote in a post on his Twitter page. “I fairly, and in good faith offered to pay 2 months rent (over 50K) to a landlord for a place I was never going to step foot in due to a global pandemic that took a severe toll upon the residents of NYC, gave timely notice to attempt to try and re-rent, while getting (Tommy John surgery) and now live in Florida for rehab, and the landlord tries to extort me for 250K while leaking this story to the media, and I’m the bad guy? Yeah, okay.

“See you in court pal.” Syndergaard had leased the property at 116 Hudson Street back in February, according to the landlord’s suit filed in Manhattan Federal Court. The lease was supposed to last from March through November for a total of $225,000, with a $17,000 broker’s commission.

On April 30, Syndergaard’s attorneys informed the landlord that “has no intention of taking possession of the subject premises and the landlord is hereby free to rerent it as he sees fit,” according to the suit.

The landlord alleges that Syndergaard “treated the binding lease like an option,” per the lawsuit.

Syndergaard has just begun his Tommy John rehab back in Florida. The season remains on an indefinite hiatus until the league and players union can agree on how or when to start back up in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. Syndergaard will miss out on any kind of season this year as his rehab is expected to keep him sidelined at least until 2021.
