Status:

Max Scherzer declared himself “good to go” for his New York Mets debut in Friday’s second game for the season against the Washington Nationals, the club he helped win the 2019 World Series.

During his time in Washington after getting a seven-year, $210 million deal before the 2015 season, Scherzer won a pair of NL Cy Young Awards (his other came in 2013 in the AL with Detroit), tossed two no-hitters and had a 20-strikeout game, in addition to helping win a championship two years ago.

Where did go:

Scherzer’s time with the Dodgers unofficially ended Monday when he agreed to a three-year, $130-million contract with the New York Mets. The deal includes a full no-trade clause and an opt-out after the 2023 season.

Loud applause greeted Scherzer when he came out of the dugout for pregame introductions before Game 1 on Thursday night. A video tribute was shown on the outfield scoreboard, featuring clips from the news conference when he signed with the Nationals and game highlights. It closed with the message “Thank you, Max” and an image of the World Series trophy.

When did sign with the nets:

The Mets’ Black Friday shopping spree was exciting, but there biggest move didn’t come until the following Monday, when they signed Max Scherzer to a 3-year, $130M contract. It’s a record contract in terms of AAV, and certainly the largest financial commitment ever made to a 37-year-old pitcher.
