The New York Mets have reportedly agreed to a free-agent deal with Max Scherzer.
Jon Heyman of MLB Network said that the Mets will pay a lot of money to the pitcher.
The average of $43.3 million per season would be 888-282-0465 888-282-0465 888-282-0465 888-282-0465, setting a new MLB record.
The Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Dodgers had a split last season. He was great for both teams.
He had a 2.46) earned run average, the lowest of his career, and a 0.86 WHIP and 6.0 hits allowed per nineinnings.
The Dodgers made the biggest splash prior to the July 30 trade deadline last season when they acquired Max Scherzer and Trea Turner from the Washington Nationals in exchange for six other players.
Los Angeles' playoff push was aided by both Turner and Scherzer. Over 11 starts, the three-time Cy Young winner had a 1.98 earned run and 89 strikeouts.
This is a crucial time for the Dodgers, coming off a 106-win season. The front office has a number of major roster decisions to make for the first time during their recent run of success.
Notable players who are eligible for free agency are: Kenley Jansen, Chris Taylor, and Chris Seager.
Despite being at an age when most pitchers are trying to hang onto their jobs, Max Scherzer is still one of the most dominant players in MLB. The eight-time All-Star ranked fifth among pitchers in FanGraphs' wins above replacement.
He was a priority for the franchise. He will be an ace with Jacob deGrom.
Any MLB rotation would be improved by Scherzer. He is one of the most dominant and durable pitchers in the era when starting pitchers are throwing less.
He can still make 30 starts and can still throw 200 in a season. The Mets will benefit from his rare talent in their quest to win a championship.
Steve Cohen said at his introductory press conference that it would be "disappointing" if the Mets didn't win a World Series in three to five years.
Cohen and the front office are trying to get the team to the playoffs after they went 77-85 in 2021.
The Mets have reportedly added several players, including Max Scherzer.
New York is served by the addition of Scherzer. He will give the rotation some insurance if deGrom is injured as was the case in the second half of last season.
The Mets will have the best one-two pitching duo in baseball with deGrom and Scherzer. The Mets have a lot of question marks, but two ace pitchers provide a great foundation to build a staff around.
