Noah Syndergaard has been having some fun with the media during spring training this year, and his interactions with reporters who cover the Mets have now spilled over into everyday life.
On Sunday, Mike Puma of the New York Post shared a funny exchange he had with Syndergaard while on his way to West Palm Beach, which is where the Mets were headed to take on the Washington Nationals. Syndergaard jokingly threatened to slash Puma’s tires.

Hey, some players just give the media short responses to let them know they’re unhappy with them. At least Syndergaard was more forward about it.
Syndergaard had previously told Puma that another New York Post writer who now covers the New York Yankees is “dead to me.”

Syndergaard is easily one of baseball’s most zany characters, and the offseason is when his personality tends to shine. Puma knows that better than most, and he must have been relieved when he learned his tires weren’t actually going to be slashed.
