Noah Syndergaard is hoping for a fresh start with the Cleveland Guardians.
The Guardians acquired Syndergaard from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for infielder Amed Rosario on Wednesday.
"There's been a lot of emotions with a balance between a lot of excitement and disappointment in myself," Syndergaard said. "My time with the Dodgers didn't really go as planned. I didn't really blossom into the pitcher I wanted to be, but maybe just a fresh start with the Guardians is really all I need to bounce back and just start fresh."
Syndergaard signed a one-year deal with the Dodgers before the season and posted a 7.16 ERA in 12 starts before being sidelined by a blister.
He's expected to make his first start for the Guardians on Monday.
