Pat Lagazo, a member of the U.S. Sports Illustrated (SI), said on social media on the 24th (Korea time), "Free Agent Scherzer threw the ball in front of a number of clubs earlier this week." Eight teams, including the New York Mets, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox, gathered to see Scherzer.
"Sherzer has been in contact with Toronto," Lagazo added. Given that he was the only one who mentioned Toronto, it can be interpreted that he had a deep conversation. In addition, copyright's SportsNet reported that "there are increasing reports of Toronto and Pete Alonso-Sherzer."
"The last one of Scherzer is likely to stop in the Bronx (the area where Yankee Stadium is located) with the New York Yankees," SI quoted LaGazo as saying.
Overall, Toronto and Yankees seem to be most actively seeking to recruit Scherzer. It is also noteworthy that the Dodgers, which are having the best offseason, are aiming for Scherzer.
Scherzer is a pitcher who has virtually confirmed his entry into the Hall of Fame after retirement. He joined the Arizona Diamondbacks as the 11th overall pick in the 2006 Rookie Draft. After going through hard work in the minor leagues, he advanced to the big leagues in 2008 and displayed potential with 9 wins, 11 losses and an earned run average of 4.12 in 2009.
He has full potential with the Detroit Tigers. He recorded his first double-digit wins with 12 wins and 11 losses and a 3.50 ERA in 2010 and grabbed his first Cy Young Award with 21 wins and 3 losses and a 2.90 ERA in 2013. He played for Detroit for a total of five seasons, recording 82 wins and 35 losses and a 3.52 ERA. He played 203 innings per year, and became the reigning champion for consecutive years from 2013 to 2014.
He has moved to the Washington Nationals since 2015, and will spend three golden years here. In 2016, Scherzer won his second Cy Young Award with 20-7 record and 2.96 ERA, and the following year, he won his second Cy Young Award with 16 wins and 6 losses and 2.51 ERA. In 2018, he had 18 wins and 7 losses and 2.53 ERA, as well as 300 strikeouts during 220 ⅔ innings. It was his 17th 300th strikeout in the 1900s, and his first in 16 years since Kurt Schilling (316 strikeouts) in 2002. However, the Cy Young Award was awarded to Jacob deGrom (then of the New York Mets), a "bad guy" who recorded 10 wins and 9 losses and 1.70 ERA in 32 games.
After that, his career began to falter. He continued his career with the Dodgers, Mets, and Texas Rangers from 2021. He still showed fighting spirit, but suffered from frequent injuries.
He recorded his worst career performance in 2024. He suffered back, back, right hand pain, and hamstring injury in succession, and recorded just two wins, four losses and an ERA of 3.95 in nine games. He only played 43 ⅓ innings, the fewest since his Major League debut.
This year, Scherzer will enter his 40th season. He still thinks he is competitive enough. In August last year, Scherzer told the Dallas Morning News that "I can still pitch at a high level." John Hayman of the New York Post appeared on a livestream of "Blitzer Report" on the 2nd and said Scherzer has no intention of retiring.
Scherzer's remaining goals are 3,000 innings and 3,500 strikeouts. Scherzer has recorded 2,878 innings and 3407 strikeouts so far. If he can have a healthy season, he can achieve this goal in just one season.
