After two strong seasons in Cleveland, he has seen a slight dip in 2023. In 93 games this season, he is hitting .265 (18 points lower than last year) with three homers and 40 RBI. His OPS is down 40 points as well, from .715 to .675. Overall, though, Rosario had a successful tenure in Cleveland. After being traded from the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2023\/07\/21\/mets-third-base\/\" target=\"_self\">New York Mets<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/l\/lindofr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-07-26_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Francisco Lindor<\/a>, he upped his offensive production. In 2022, Rosario led the American League in triples with nine.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old will now look to establish himself in Los Angeles. The Dodgers have lost multiple star shortstops to free agency in recent years, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/machama01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-07-26_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manny Machado<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/seageco01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-07-26_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Corey Seager<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/t\/turnetr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-07-26_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trea Turner<\/a>. All three enjoyed big moments in LA, but due to their respective contract situations, the position has turned into a revolving door for the Dodgers. Since Rosario was only on a one-year deal with Cleveland, this trend could continue. However, if he shines the last two months of the year and beyond, he might find a long-term home at Chavez Ravine.<\/p>\n<h3>Thor Headed to Cleveland<\/h3>\n<p>As for Syndergaard, he continues his odyssey through the big leagues after his Mets tenure came to an end following the 2021 season. He split 2022 between the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2023\/07\/26\/latest-ohtani-rumors\/\" target=\"_self\">Los Angeles Angels<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2023\/07\/25\/phillies-obersvations-defining-week\/\" target=\"_self\">Philadelphia Phillies<\/a>, appearing in the World Series for the latter. Before this year, Syndergaard signed a one-year deal with the Dodgers. In 12 starts, he has struggled, pitching to a 1-4 record with a 7.16 ERA and 1.446 WHIP. He has averaged one home run surrendered per start. Syndergaard may only need a fresh start with a new team. Turning 31 next month, he could have a lot left in the tank if he stays healthy, which has been an issue throughout his career.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the more intriguing deadline deals so far, with two relatively well-known former Mets being swapped for each other. With both teams contending for the postseason, Rosario and Syndergaard will each get ample opportunity to prove their worth to their new clubs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: David Richard-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<p>Players Mentioned: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/r\/rosaram01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-07-26_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amed Rosario<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/syndeno01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-07-26_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Noah Syndergaard<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/l\/lindofr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-07-26_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Francisco Lindor<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/machama01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-07-26_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manny Machado<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/seageco01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-07-26_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Corey Seager<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/t\/turnetr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-07-26_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trea Turner<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to reports, the Cleveland Guardians will trade shortstop Amed Rosario to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
