Syndergaard, who underwent Tommy John surgery in March, will make the same salary he would have made in a full 2020 season. Team president Sandy Alderson recently said he hopes Syndergaard will be able to rejoin the rotation in June.
Syndergaard, 28, went 10-8 with a 4.28 ERA in 2019 and has a career record of 47-30, 3.31 since debuting with the Mets in 2015. He will be a free agent after the 2021 season.
