MLB Network's John Heyman appeared on Bleacher Report's Live on the 3rd and said, "The clubs' interest in Max Scherzer is heating up."

Scherzer is a living legend who has received three Cy Young Awards. He has been playing the ace role by banking on his 95-mile fastball, the league's best slider and change-up. Considering his characteristics as an adventurer in a big game, he is considered one of the most sought-after pitchers in Korea. Both the New York Mets and Texas signed or traded Scherzer to win the title.

However, Scherzer pitched only 43.1 innings last year. It was the fewest innings since his debut. Scherzer pitched more than 200 innings for six consecutive years from 2013 to 2018. He pitched 152.2 innings between the Mets and Texas in 2023, but suffered from various injuries this season, reducing the number of innings pitched.

Instead, Scherzer pitched effectively. He stopped his earned run average at the 3-point range (3.95), and allowed only 10 walks while striking out 40. As long as he manages innings in good health, he is still considered a competitive starting pitcher.

Hayman said there are four teams that want Max Scherzer, but he did not mention the specific name of the team. If the team is aiming to win, there are good reasons to include Scherzer in the rotation.

Scherzer is an eight-time All-Star and has won a Cy Young Award in 2013, 2016 and 2017. He has also won two World Series titles in Washington in 2019 and Texas in 2023.
