Blue Jays’ Free Agent Max Scherzer Strongly Linked to NL Team
Max Scherzer, the Blue Jays' free agent and three-time Cy Young winner, delivered vintage performances in the recent MLB postseason, bouncing back after a tough September when he posted a 10.20 ERA and was removed from the Blue Jays’ ALDS roster.
In Game 4 of the ALCS, Scherzer made a lasting impression on Blue Jays’ fans with a memorable confrontation against manager John Schneider, where he shouted at the skipper and refused to be pulled from the game.
"Mad Max exploded at his skipper, shouting and sending him back to the dugout, refusing to come out of the game."
Despite that heated moment, Scherzer also had an excellent World Series outing, which will remain part of his Blue Jays legacy.
According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, the San Francisco Giants are the most likely destination for Scherzer in free agency. Olney expressed surprise if the 41-year-old future Hall of Famer does not sign with the Giants.
"I’d be stunned if the 41-year-old future Hall of Famer doesn’t end up [with the Giants]."
Scherzer has a strong relationship with the Giants' new manager Tony Vitello, and while he could choose to prioritize family by returning home, after Game 7 he stated confidently,
"Look, I can still do this."
This suggests Scherzer plans to continue competing at a high level despite his age.
Author's summary: Max Scherzer impressed in the postseason, faced a fiery moment with the Blue Jays' manager, and is expected to join the San Francisco Giants, signaling plans to keep competing.
