Max Scherzer didn’t imagine that he’d end up being traded going into the 2023 season.
“I didn’t think I was getting traded,” Scherzer said, adding that he expected some of the team’s pending free agents could get dealt at the trade deadline.
The former Mets pitcher revealed there were other teams that had come knocking for his services, but Texas was the only one that made sense for him and his family in the long run. As the Mets started to sell off pieces of the roster in order to change the course of the franchise, Scherzer met with Cohen and general manager Billy Eppler.
Texas sits atop the American League West and had a seven-game winning streak snapped Wednesday by the Oakland Athletics.
