‘ Thor’ in dispute with landlord

Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard was sued by his New York landlord, who claims Syndergaard did not pay his $ 27,000- amonth rent that started in late March on the lower Manhattan penthouse. The lawsuit seeks $ 250,000, the value of the lease.

Syndergaard took to Twitter on Saturday to give his side, saying he offered to pay two months’ rent and gave notice he wouldn’t move in because of the pandemic. Tweeted the pitcher, “See you in court, pal.”
