Syndergaard tells landlord: “See you in court pal”

[Jason Collins]

I know this topic has been discussed at length on thee boards. But below is a national example.

Any thoughts on this? What would you do as the landlord?

"So let me get this straight," Syndergaard wrote. "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 TJ and now living 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, ok. See you in court pal."

Of note, Noah Syndergaard is a star pitcher on the NY Mets.

The player reportedly signed a 9 month lease at $27k a month for which he is refusing to pay.

His guaranteed baseball earnings:

2018- $2.975 million

2019- $6 million

2020- $9.7 million

@Jason Collins if I'm the landlord and I knew that he was only coming for the season - which is now cancelled - I'd probably be happy with 2 months, or maybe try to negotiate up from there a bit.

I think it'd be different if he was already there for several months prior to this happening.

What say you?
